Button Open Air at Bethells Beach Cafe

The Button Factory has always been about community, connection, creativity, and that endless-summer feeling that keeps people coming back. For one day we’ll leave the city behind and inviting you to join us at the beach.

We’re swapping wooden floors for warm black sand, city noise for crashing waves, and walls for open sky and we can’t be more pumped about it.

Expect: Live bands. DJs. Kai. Friends. Vibes.

Grab your togs, bring your mates.
See you soon Te Henga!

Date: Saturday, 7th March
Time: 1:00 – 10:00 pm
Location: Bethells Beach, Waitākere 0814
Cost: Donations welcome (pay what you can)
