The next Tauranga Food Show takes place on the 25th to 27th August 2023 at Mercury Arena Baypark, 81 Truman Lane in Mount Maunganui.

Since now! For our tenth anniversary show, we're launching Premier Day. With limited public tickets, a delicious Culinary Gift Bag included in your ticket and special live demonstrations, Premier Day is a premium ticketed day for VIP visitors and the food trade industry. Find out more about Premier Day.

The doors open to the public at 10am, and close at 5pm. This is for every day of the show, including Premier Day on Friday.

Friday Premier Day tickets are sold online in advance of the show. Stay tuned for our first ticket release - sign up to our mailing list to get notified in your inbox!

Saturday and Sunday general admission tickets are $15 for adults and $5 for children 13 and under. Tickets are sold at the door only (no presales). The ticket booth is located in the foyer of the Arena. Cash and Eftpos are accepted - sorry, no credit.

We're working on our 2023 lineup which is growing every day, check out the exhibitor list.

Parking is free, and there's heaps of it! We have parking attendants on hand to show you where to go.

If you really want to avoid the crowds, join us for our new exclusive Premier Day.

‍

If you're visiting during the weekend, t's certainly busier in the mornings until about 1pm - if you want to avoid a crowd, we recommend that you come in the afternoon. Sunday is a little quieter than Saturday.

Unlike other shows, attendance to the Live Cooking Kitchen is included in your entry ticket.

We're working on our 2023 lineup where we'll be featuring chefs from restaurants and cafes around the Bay of Plenty - we like to keep it local!

There are food trucks located just outside the doors along the back wall of the show with plenty of seating available. Sit down. Relax! Have a tasty bite to eat.

We have a parcel minding service at the Info Desk, and it's totally free! Just bring us your stuff and we'll look after it. We promise we won't taste it, no matter how tempting.

You can absolutely bring children, just keep in mind that the Tauranga Food Show is a pretty busy setting so it can be cumbersome getting around with a pushchair.

Almost all exhibitors have Eftpos facilities on their stands, and we also provide a cash out facility near the Info Desk.

There is public Wi-Fi available at Mercury Arena Baypark. It's free, and you don't need a password.

Yes. Ask at the Info Desk - there's a limited number available, so it can be helpful to book them in advance by giving us a call on 07 576 0513.
