A patch of paradise in the King Country will host hundreds of people for the “Naked In The Trees” festival.

Up to 800 people will set upon the town of Taumaranui in February for what is described as a “unique celebration of desire, communication and exploration”.

Event Organiser, Lisa McMillan says it’s the only event she does with no set attire.

“It’s the only event I do which has got absolutely no dress code. You can be fully clothed; you can be in undie sort of attire. You can be in festival gear. You can be nude. It’s up to you.”

“It’s 200 acres of horse training ground, and it’s absolutely stunning. We’ve got a river that runs through the middle. There’s a huge swimming spot, really deep. There’s a big waterfall.

Local and maybe even international acts will play on two stages and there were three zones for festival-goers to explore, she said, The Glade, The Playground and The Village.

Although the festival was not all about sex there were definitely elements, she said.

“If you were to come to the festival, you don’t have to come with the expectation that you’re going to do anything. Maybe just listen to music, maybe just chat to a few people and go to a workshop. That’s all you have to do.

“It’s just enjoying the landscape. I mean, really, or just go for a swim, it’s up to you, just do everything at your own pace.”
