Introducing Te Kuiti
Cute little Te Kuiti nestles in a valley between picturesque hills. It doesn’t so much have a gimmick as an odd claim to fame: welcome to the shearing capital of the world! You won’t have any doubt as to the veracity of that statement if you’re here for the Great New Zealand Muster (late March/early April) and its legendary Running of the Sheep. Pamplona’s got nothing on the sight of over 2000 woolly demons stampeding down the main street. The festival includes sheep-shearing championships, a parade, Maori cultural performances, live music, barbecues, hangi (feast from an oven in the ground) and lots of market stalls.
