To learn about the history and people of Katikati, all you really need to do is take a walk around town. Just by walking the main street and noticing what's on the buildings, you'll see the stories of the pioneers come to life.
The fascinating history of this charming town is portrayed by magnificent, finely worked murals on the outside walls of the commercial buildings. These murals are an interpretation of the town's history, its people and historical events. They draw inspiration from the past as they help the town look to the future.
From just three murals in 1991, the town now features 23. In addition Katikati features a growing collection of other outdoor art. This growth will continue as Katikati Open-Air Art and the community, plan more murals, more sculptures, and more festivals.
