Become a
Friend of the Festival

Love the Festival? Become one of our Friends and help keep the magic walking.  The Waiheke Walking Festival is a community event with a big heart and while grants and sponsorship help, they don’t cover everything. Many of our regular walkers asked how they could support the Festival year-round, so the Friends programme was born.

For $99 (+ booking fee), you’ll help strengthen the Festival’s future while enjoying a few special perks along the way. To keep it personal, memberships are capped at just 100 Friends.

  • Early access to Festival bookings – one full week before public release!
  • A private cheese and wine evening kindly hosted by one of our supporters.
  • An exclusive walk once a year (outside of Festival timings).
