Make Labour Weekend A Quiet Riot At Nelson Arts Festival
Spring is in the air and Nelson Arts Festival is about to take over Whakatū, with Labour Weekend packed with theatre, live music, books, dance, film, art, free events and plenty of reasons to get out and make a long weekend of it.
Running from 22 October – 1 November, Aotearoa’s longest-running annual regional arts festival returns for its 32nd year, with JOY as an act of collective hope at the heart of the programme and an invitation to join its very own “quiet riot”.
“For us, a ‘quiet riot’ is about coming together and choosing joy. It might be a brilliant show, a conversation that stays with you, dancing with strangers or gathering on the beach at sunset. Labour Weekend is full of those moments, and we’d love people to come out and get amongst it,” says Artistic Director Janelle Bish.
