The Art Deco Festival Napier has grown into one of the great festivals of the world. But more than that, it's an acknowledgement of the resilience and spirit of the Hawke's Bay Communities who, in the aftermath of the 1931 earthquake, rolled up their sleeves and rebuilt Napier City, creating the magnificent Art Deco Capital that we celebrate today.
Join us for an unforgettable immersive festival experience, brimming with energy, optimism and all that Jazz of the Art Deco Era!!
