Waipa Networks Welcome to the Waipa Networks Rose and Cultural Festival for 2004. We are proud to be the major sponsor of the Festival since its beginnings in 2000. The event has grown significantly each year and this year's festival promises to be bigger and brighter than ever.

Arts and culture are important to us all and enrich our lives every day. The visual arts, music, dance, poetry, theatre, hand crafts and Maori culture have featured prominently in past festivals. This event is a great way to help put Te Awamutu on the map, encourage people to visit and help fill our theatres and galleries.

We are happy to be involved with a number of local organisations that are supporting the Festival and planning to make it another huge success. We look forward to seeing you at this year's events.
