The Bay of Islands Waka Ama Festival, which was to have been held at Waitangi on March 13-14, has been postponed due to Covid-19 concerns. A new date has yet to be set. Organisers said they had to decide whether the event would go ahead last week before it was known whether Auckland s level 3 alert would be lifted. Many paddlers had been expected to travel from south of Auckland for the festival.
