WELCOME TO THE
FESTIVAL OF COLOUR

IT’S A WRAP!

The 10th Wānaka Festival of Colour was a huge success with 51 ticketed performances attended by over 8,000 enthusiastic and appreciative audiences.

We’re thrilled to have presented the largest free community day ever along with a diverse array of other free events attracting record crowds  to participate, play and enjoy.

Our week-long festival entertained and inspired local audiences, school students and visitors to the festival with a rich programme that celebrated the arts, community and region.

Our heartfelt thanks to our funders, sponsors, benefactors and patrons for their support in making the festival possible.

Our next festival will take place 29 th March – 6 th April 2025 but before then we will present the ever popular Aspiring Conversations 4th – 7th April 2024.
