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.

—Frank Zappa (1940–1994)
“Marry, I cannot show it in rhyme, I have tried; I can find no rhyme to “lady” but “baby”Man innocent rhyme; for “scorn,” “horn”Ma hard rhyme; for “school,” “fool”Ma babbling rhyme; very ominous endings. No, I was not born under a rhyming planet, nor I cannot woo in festival terms.”
