Summer Events in Nelson
This summer, the Nelson Tasman region is once again hosting a fantastic line up of events with many firm favourites back again, some in a slightly different format or venue to allow for COVID-19 requirements.
From sports and family-friendly outdoor events to world-class music, arts and entertainment, if you're in Nelson or Tasman this summer, there will be something you'll want to see.
The popular Summer Events Guide was distributed into Nelson Tasman letterboxes the first week of December 2021, and is also available here.
