Add legendary 80s tribute band Danger80s headlining, delicious local artisan food, and a crowd that knows how to enjoy a sunny Nelson day — and you’ve got yourself a proper celebration.

Whether you’re a dedicated craft fan or just keen for a fun day out, Marchfest is your chance to taste the best of New Zealand brewing culture in one place.

Sunshine. Soundtrack. Seriously good beer.
