The Great Exchange: Swap, Snack, and Socialise! - Ecofest

Waiheke Ready to clear the clutter and uncover some local treasures? Join us for The Great Exchange, Waiheke’s celebration of sustainability and community! This isn’t just a swap — it’s a mission to keep quality goods out of landfill. Bring one box of pre-loved items—kitchen gadgets, books, décor, or anything still in good nick—and “shop” the collective for something new-to-you. After the hunt, enjoy delicious rescued-food nibbles prepared by local zero-waste cook Kathy Voyles from the Kai Conscious Café. The Essentials Bring: One box of treasures (and take your box home afterward). Eco-Check: Please bring your own reusable cup, plate, and cutlery to help keep the event waste-free. Vibe: Games, music, and friendly chats with neighbours. Whether you’re passionate about zero-waste living or just keen for a fun community afternoon, let’s build a greener future together — one box at a time. See you there! This event is part of EcoFest, an annual month-long festival taking place Saturday 22 March – Tuesday 22 April 2026. Inspiring climate action across Tāmaki Makaurau, it is hosted in collaboration by EcoMatters, Kaipātiki Project, Beautification Trust and Waiheke Resources Trust, and proudly supported by Auckland Council.
