Welcome to Nelson Arts Festival
Many boats in one ocean, looking to many stars in one sky.
Ko te pae tawhiti whāia kia tata, ko te pae tata whakamaua kia tina.
Seek out distant horizons and cherish those you attain.
2024, our 30th Nelson Arts Festival.
A Festival (and a fleet) carving a path through the cresting wave.
