2011 Dates Announced

The snow is on the hills and everyone in Wanaka is wrapped up to stay warm, but here in the festival office our sights are set to Autumn 2011 with the announcement of the dates for the 4th Festival of Colour.

The Festival will be held from 12 to 17 April 2011 which is a little bit earlier than the last 2 festivals so we hope it will be a bit warmer and the autumn colours should be at their best.

So book your accommodation and travel plans now as it is sure to be a busy time, based on the success of the 2009 Festival.
