What better way to celebrate 30 years of Nelson Arts Festivals than with this all-time favourite – please join us for the street party of the year, Whakatū! There’s so much to enjoy: the parade, pop-up performances, a whole zone curated by the amazing folx at Pasefika Arts and Culture Collective (PACC), a stellar music line-up, and delicious kai from our food vendors. We can’t wait to see you there!
Celebrating mask culture and creating your own mask are a huge part of cultural celebrations all around the world and have been a wonderful part of the Nelson Arts Festival since its inception 30 years ago. A forever Festival favourite, really.
We are thrilled to announce the 2024 date for our much-loved community event:
Mask Carnivale, presented by our Moa Partners Nelson Mail, will transform our inner-city streets into a colourful explosion of joy, community and creativity on Friday 1 November!
This year’s theme is all about our milestone birthday, of course: 30.
The number 30 is considered a lucky number in many cultures around the world, symbolising longevity, completion, growth or transformation – how’s that for a reason to celebrate!?!
So, whether you’d like to make this theme about a birthday party or a shapeshifting transformation, we can’t wait to see all the costumes and masks the number 30 inspires you to make!
Mask Parade starts at 5.15pm | Carnivale from 5.45pm
