The River Sounds Festival

A not-for-profit music festival about mental health, finding hope and choosing life.

Complimenting the main stage is an array of activities designed to promote hauora - well being, such as yoga, meditation, and interactive talks with local mental health experts. 

All proceeds from the event will be donated to very important charities: 

Te Puna Hauora - provides a range of mental health services within the Western Bay of Plenty
