To get the most out of your day we would recommend getting to the festival as early as possible. We have some great acts scheduled up first. If you are staying in Central Wellington, allow around 10-15 minutes walk to the Waterfront. Parking is very limited so if you are coming from further afield, we would recommend using a rideshare app or public transport. Allow around 30 minutes to get through ticketing and security, depending on the time of day.

Ticketing is located at Odlins Plaza. This is where you can exchange your ticket for a wristband and gain entry to the festival.
