Heading to Kāpiti Food Fair tomorrow? Here's how to get here (stress-free!):
💡 NZTA have confirmed Transmission Gully will be open in both directions this weekend (no full closures) - and trains will also be running without bus replacements on Saturday.
We still recommend allowing a little extra travel time, as the roads will be busy with lots of hungry visitors heading our way.
⭐️ VIP Parking (SOLD OUT)
If you hold a VIP parking ticket, enter Scaife Drive & have your ticket scanned at the Barrier Arm. You're in - park all day! Easy.
No VIP ticket?
Head to one of our many GOLD COIN parking zones (we have over 2000 parks available & expert parking marshals - check the Parking Map below). It's a short walk to the Fair with plenty of friendly vibes along the way.
♿ Disabled / Mobility parking
FREE and located near Gate Entry 2, with marshals ready to help. Just let the peeps at the Barrier Arm know you are seeking a disabled / mobility parking spot and, hey presto, you will be let through.
♥️ Kāpiti locals:
Skip the car and walk, run, or bike. Lots of bike racks + lock-up options on site. OR catch the train to Paraparaumu Station, then hop on the FREE shuttle bus to the Fair (timetable below).
Once you arrive at the station, look out for the red double-decker (or large single-level coach) heading straight to the Fair. These are private coaches hired just for you - totally free!
