Tuku Whakatu Heritage Months

Event Date

A series of events based on the rich and varied past of one of New Zealand’s oldest cities.

Delivering a range of interesting, exciting and intriguing events and activities with a heritage flair, there is sure to be something for everyone over autumn/winter. 

An exciting festival of culture and heritage based in Whakatū Nelson and beyond. Tuku 24 Whakatū is programmed by Nelson City Council but all the individual events, similar to a fringe festival, are delivered by "events hosts" from across the community.
