PHAT Music Festival
Inangahua is the host of the PHAT New Year's Eve music festivals. PHAT07, PHAT08, PHAT09 featured New Zealand and many international acts. PHAT is held on flat clearings surrounded by rain forest on Rough Creek Road, off Browns Creek Road, south of Inangahua and owned by the Storer family. Approximately 5000 people attend the PHAT music festivals, with 48 hours of continuous performance on two stages.
The other annual event held on the Inangahua site is PHAT MOON, a slightly smaller version of the bigger New Year's Eve event. PHAT MOON is held over Easter weekend. The music runs for 24 hours, but people are invited to come and camp the night before.

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or festival:
“There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society where none intrudes
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but nature more,”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“Don’t you know there are 200 temperance women in this county who control 200 votes. Why does a woman work for temperance? Because she’s tired of liftin’ that besotted mate of hers off the floor every Saturday night and puttin’ him on the sofa so he won’t catch cold. Tonight we’re for temperance. Help yourself to them cloves and chew them, chew them hard. We’re goin’ to that festival tonight smelling like a hot mince pie.”
—Laurence Stallings (1894–1968)
