Waiheke Island’s craft-beer-and-music party returns to The Heke for an evening session in Onetangi.
The Hekefest 2026 is set for 28 March 2026, running from 17:00 to 23:00 at The Heke on 64 Onetangi Road. The event is a celebration of Kiwi culture, craft beer and live music, moving from an afternoon band set into DJ-led dancing later in the night. With the festival held right on Waiheke, it pairs well with a day of island exploring—ferry over, book a late lunch, then settle in for the evening programme. As the details are hosted on the organiser’s ‘What’s On’ page, check the ticket link for availability and any package options as the date approaches.
