While there is plenty to do here every day, sometimes there is something extra special you shouldn't miss.

Every year you can enjoy the showpiece events of the region, the Victorian Heritage Celebrations, Steampunk NZ Festival and Harbour Street Jazz Festivals.
But that isn’t all, we have regular farmers markets, performing arts shows, something for foodies, multiple sporting events and there is always something on at the Opera House!
