About Nelson Arts Festival

The Nelson Arts Festival exists because we love the arts, and we see the power of the arts in promoting wellbeing and building communities. We are here to champion the arts in our region and to share unmissable arts experiences for, and with, the people of Te Tauihu and beyond. We hold an 11 days long arts festival in Whakatū Nelson every October/ springtime: 20 - 30 October 2022. Following 24 successful years of development and support, in 2018 the Nelson City Council moved the Nelson Arts Festival into a community-based, autonomous organisation to enable it to grow and flourish. The Nelson Arts Festival is now under the governance of the Nelson Festivals Trust, a registered charity.
