Summer Events in Nelson

It's summer time, and there's heaps to do. Enjoy!

Keep up to date with the latest news.

To find out what's on in Nelson and Tasman, go to It'sOn.

This summer we bring some relatively unknown jewels to the parks including a salute to the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 flight.

Nelson Buskers Festival brings street performers from around the world to amaze and entrance with acrobatics, contortion, clowning and, of course, juggling for four fabulous days.

Nelson Opera in the Park returns to the city, with top New Zealand opera and contemporary singers alongside the outstanding New Zealand Symphony Orchestra.

Sadly we had to cancel this summer's picnic due to wet weather.  Hope to see you all next summer in the park.

Thousands came out to enjoy this year's Lantern Celebration, enjoying a whimsical family-friendly adventure up and down the Centre of New Zealand - thanks for taking part!

So long 2019!  Great concert and atmosphere - Happy New Year everyone!

Great to see so many people enjoying two beautiful summer evenings with an extraordinary array of talent on stage, big audiences and lots of smiling faces.  A big shout out to the Youth and Community Works (YCW) team for a job well done, as well as the many youth volunteers who assisted with the stage and tech side of things - thank you!

We’d like to know what you thought of the Summer Events so we can continue to improve the events.
