Festival Opening

With a very special collaboration of our local choirs singing a selection of waiata, this is a moment to acknowledge the whole community for their support of the Festival and to celebration the rich and experiences the Festival will share with audiences over the week.

This year's Festival celebrates opportunities for reconnection after these recent year's of separation, distance and uncertainty. Join us, then, in the heart of Wānaka township as we celebration and revel in the ability to sing, dance and laugh together once more.
