2026 marks thirty years of the О̄taki Market! We've put together a series of awesome events to celebrate.
For nearly three decades, the Ōtaki Market has been a vibrant cornerstone of the Kāpiti Coast, serving as a community-driven hub for locals and visitors alike. Established in 1996, it's Kapiti Coast's longest-running market. It's managed by an all-female-led team, celebrating local crafts, produce, and community pride!
