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.

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!

Summer Movies Al Fresco 2019/20 featured seven different movies, played at eight different venues across Nelson Tasman, with a total of 18 screenings during December/January.  Happily, not a single one was rained out.  Thanks to those who came along to enjoy a movie under the stars.

Nelson Buskers Festival brought a little amazement to our city streets (and Mapua Wharf) for four wonderful days.  Hope you caught some of the extraordinary acrobatics, juggling, jumping, balancing and laughs.

What a stunning night!  Nelson Opera in the Park 2020 turned our smart little city into a magic little city with incredible singers and musicians on a warm summer evening.  See you in two years.

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