Join us every weekend in January and February as some of Pōneke's finest performers fill the waterfront with vibrant delights.

Last year saw a rollercoaster of talented swing dancers, jazz bands, fire spinners, opera singers, acrobats, and some of Aotearoa's best buskers.

Summer Sampler will be coming around again in 2024.
