DISCOVER THE MURALS

Katikati is known as New Zealand’s Mural Town, with over 80 outdoor murals and sculptures located around the township.

Grab a map from The Arts Junction on the Main Road and go for a wander and discover the artworks. Scan the QR code on each artwork to learn more - many pieces depict scenes from the town’s history.

The first mural to be produced in 1990 was “Waitekohe School” and in 1996 also saw the first Mural Town Magic festival, when Katikati celebrated its first five years of projects.  Now Katikati celebrates with the week or month long biennial NZ Mural Contest & Art Festival that involves as many forms of the arts and groups as possible.
