Plan Your Festival Weekend

Get ready for a weekend packed with adventure, energy, and good times! The Taupo Trail Festival is more than just epic trails—it’s a full festival experience with trail events, live music, food trucks, and a buzzing event hub. Check out the schedule below to plan your weekend, explore all the event options, and make the most of your time at Craters.

We couldn’t do it without these absolute legends!

It’s really simple, these events don’t happen without the commitment and support of a whole bunch of cool people, and organisations that share the vision of what we are trying to achieve. We are so grateful to those who got on board, and believe, like we do, the benefits of getting people into the outdoors and nature - and for their support of Total Sport. Some of these partners have been with us for a very long time, and feel like family, and some are newbies. Please support them wherever you can, as their support enables us to do what we do, which means you get to do what you love to do - everyone wins!!

COME AND ENJOY THE FUN!
