Now in its ninth year MarchFest will take place in Nelson next month.
The Nelson region is New Zealand’s sole hop growing area – and it exports world class hops globally – as well as supplying local breweries.
The region also has more craft breweries per head of the population than anywhere else in the country. All the beers available at MarchFest have been specially commissioned for the event and have never previously been tasted by the public and MarchFest is not just about beer. It’s also about local wines, ciders and juices, regional cuisine (including a beer and food matching lunch) as well as its ‘event genre mash-up’ insistence on being a craft beer festival, an indie/world music gig, a hops showcase, an educational forum for home/wannabe brewers and a family-friendly day out.
Marchfest 2016 has confirmed a lineup of musical performances – Tahuna Breaks, The Nudge, The Gypsy Pickers, Humankindness and The Vanguards
Sat 19th March Noon-9.30pm. Founders Heritage Park, Nelson.
