RUAPUKE ROYALE
20–22 MARCH
EQUINOX 2026
When the sun stands in balance, we gather upon the land — family, bredren, sistren, youth and elder — to hold a positive vibration.
A small gathering, but the vibes large. No big production — just big bass powered by two handcrafted sound systems, fresh air, and good people. Roots culture all weekend long — selectors, reasoning by the fire, dancing under the stars, with children’s laughter in the west coast wind.
Leave Babylon business at the gate — no stress, no mess, no rush.
Ruapuke Royale. Royal living in humble style.
