Hawke's Bay Welcomes you
Art Deco Festival NAPIER
The Napier Art Deco Festival is one of New Zealand’s largest and most iconic events. This unique Festival is recognised nationally and internationally as a bucket list event.
Set in an idyllic location with the stunning surrounds of the Hawke’s Bay Art Deco architecture, this sets the scene for the most magical immersive celebration of the year.
The whole region steps back in time to experience what life was like between 1920 and 1940 as part of the Napier Art Deco Festival.
The Festival program is constantly being developed to create new and exciting
events for a diverse range of guests.
SALUTE TO THE SERVICES
2021 marks the 90th anniversary of the Hawke’s Bay Earthquake and the 80th anniversary of the Royal New Zealand Navy, paying tribute to show our appreciation of the crucial role that the services play during natural disasters. Their invaluable contribution is a huge part of the reason we are now celebrating 34 years of this wonderful Festival.
On behalf of all the past, present and future residents of Hawke’s Bay, thank you for your service.
We look forward to seeing you at Festival!
