Katikati Murals

Katikati calls itself New Zealand's mural town, and the claim is backed by a long-running tradition of outdoor paintings that tell local stories. Many of the works are historical in tone, depicting Māori heritage, pioneer settlement, timber, farming, and community memory in a readable, narrative style. Unlike fast-turnover street-art districts, Katikati's mural culture often feels deliberately civic and commemorative. That gives the town a distinct personality: less rebellious, more storytelling, but still richly public and visually generous. The local flavor is unmistakably small-town Bay of Plenty—main street shops, green verges, rural history, and murals that act like shared memory boards for the town itself.
