Picton Maritime Festival

The Picton Maritime Festival festival runs for two days!

Friday is the day we invite the locals to perform. This year we have all ages performing from 7 year old's through to 80+. Starting at 4pm and going through to 9.30pm. The band from Wellington Super Bad will be performing for the last hour or so.

Saturday is the free to enter family filled fun day where families can meet up and enjoy watching or participating in the events that run through the day. The Marlborough Lines Treasure Island for the little ones. The Creative Communities children's workshop will be running from Wednesday 18th. Please see entry forms on the website.

On the Interislander Stage, we have a variety of performers for young and old starting with the Queen Charlotte College Kapa Haka opening the event.

The build a dinghy is in its second year. This is being run by the Clinker and Classic Boat Society under the leadership of Bill Pettigrew. Everything is supplied to build the dinghy. The very competitive mussel float rafts competition are always a must to watch or participate in - teams of four.

The build a raft competition will be once again staged on the Old Railway Station platform starting at 11 am - registrations for all will be taken at the Crafar Crouch Info tent from 11 am. This is limited to eight teams of four.

The Youth Trust climbing wall (free) will be on the east side of the Picton Heritage and Whaling Museum with the bouncy castles close by.

The Craft stalls will be situated on London Quay (adjacent to Le Café) from 11 am on Saturday 21st 2023.

So much more to see and do.
