Our Camp Fest 25 stage will have fun, family friendly entertainment for everyone.
The market, food trucks and stage area will be a great place to chill out, have a bite to eat, browse the stalls and enjoy the entertainment.
Our stage program will offer a range of activities such as story time for littlies, activities for bigger kids and a kids talent show. There will be open mic sessions for campers too – we’d love you to share a song, a poem or some comedy perhaps (bring your own instruments).
We will have live music Saturday afternoon through to Saturday night. There will be a range of family friendly bands to enjoy. You might like to picnic by the stage and perhaps enjoy some dancing into the evening.
The bar will be operating in the rugby club rooms.
Camp Fest is supported by the
All Points Camping Club of NZ

ARTISTS
Tina Turley and The Kiwi Connextion
Canadian country artist Tina Turley is touring NZ over summer and we are delighted to welcome her back to Camp Fest. Tina is an established country crooner with an unmistakable bluesy, rock n’ roll edge. A powerhouse vocalist who can envelop you and take you on a musical journey with her performance. Tina is bringing her Hamilton-based band The Kiwi Connection with her and this hot little five piece will be playing a range of favourites you know as well as some of Tina’s originals.
Jeff & Sheree Acoustic Duo
This very accomplished duo will be performing their favourite set of classic songs from the 70's through to today's greatest artists. Their sound is an amalgam of Jeff's original, fingerstyle arrangements on guitar, interweaving with Sheree's soulful bluesy vocals. Incorporating a mixture of Alt-Country, Jazz, Soul Funk Pop but with a rock edge. They play completely live using a loop station and a wing & a prayer! This husband and wife duo is well known in the Manawatu and will bring a super smooth, easy listening vibe.
Karen Clarke Blues Woman
Karen is one of NZ’s fine homegrown indie blues women. Her music is firmly rooted in Rhythm and Blues. Her original material skirts a range of blues styles with a rootsy, contemporary edge. You'll detect a dalliance with jazz and alt-country too. A one woman boil up! Her power-packed performance is strong. Grounded. Warm. Her sometimes silky sometimes sultry smoky vocal over distinctive rhythm guitar command regard. This Mama will get your toes tapping. Karen is from Taranaki and she is a club member.
Light Years
Light Years is one of the Manawatu’s best loved covers bands. They were a big hit with the crowd last year so we are delighted that Nick and the boys are coming back again this year. These guys play all your pop and rock favourites and bring a party vibe to our evening. You will be wondering how so much music can come from just three players. Their upbeat energy will charm you onto the dancefloor if you are willing. Think party rock – you know what to do! The stage will shut down around 9pm.
