The Great NZ Muster

Saturday 29 March 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM

 

The New Zealand Shearing Championships committee has worked alongside the Waitomo District Council (WDC) for more than 30 years to turn Te Kūiti township into the Shearing mecca it is known for. The NZ Shearing Championships, The NZ Shears Running of the Sheep and The Great New Zealand Muster becomes centre stage for the District once again.

The event will be held on Saturday 29 March 2025 and will fill Te Kūiti’s main streets with musicians, children's activities, arts and crafts stalls, culinary delights and so much more.

The Muster is where the Waitomo District shows visitors just how special it is to be a part of this vibrant rural community.
