Annual craft beer and music festival, Marchfest, will once again light up Founders Heritage Park on Saturday, March 29, 2025.
Enjoy never-before-tasted brews from the best Nelson/Tasman and New Zealand craft breweries, a tasting bar, local artisan food trucks, and all-day live music.
Plus, the brand-new Marchfest Sunday Session will provide a relaxed, all-you-can-eat BBQ feast, paired with great beer and live music under the sun.
Debuting on Sunday, March 30, 2025, the Sunday Session promises the ultimate wind-down experience.
Guests can enjoy a laid-back vibe, with chill tunes, and more of Marchfest’s exclusive brews.
“Marchfest has always been about celebrating good beer, good music, and good times,” says Shelley Haring, Festival Director.
“Adding the Sunday Session was a natural evolution. We wanted to give festival-goers a fresh way to enjoy Nelson’s unbeatable beer culture, paired with great food and a laid-back atmosphere.”
Unique to Marchfest, every beer on tap is a world-first creation crafted especially for the event. More than 13 breweries will debut their exclusive brews, celebrating Nelson’s status as New Zealand’s hop-growing capital.
