FOTOFEST 2025

Hawke's Bay Photography Festival

Date: Sep 19 – Oct 2Space: Main Gallery

FOTOFEST is back for its 4th year this September, and Napier is included!

This year, the festival is going big, with more time, more to see, more to do and more ways to celebrate our region as the “photography capital of the country”.

From street and window exhibitions, competitions, outdoor installations, workshops and more, this event supports our local creatives and businesses offering multiple reasons for locals and visitors to engage with and enjoy our creative city.
If you are a photographer or creative who uses photography as their medium and would like to take part, registrations of interest are open until the end of the month.
