The Riverton Heritage Harvest Festival is a rich celebration of community, sustainability and seasonal food culture in Southland. Across a full weekend, visitors can take part in hands‑on workshops and demonstrations that share practical skills in growing, preserving and preparing food, traditional crafts, and land stewardship. There’s delicious local produce, music, heritage displays and community‑centred gatherings that make it a welcoming space to learn, connect and be inspired by grassroots approaches to sustainable living. Whether you’re interested in gardening, fermenting, fruit care, crafts or simply celebrating a seasonal harvest with community and good kai, the Festival brings these traditions to life in the beautiful coastal town of Riverton / Aparima.
