Get Ready, Nelson: Marchfest 2026 Pours In This Weekend
You may have heard by now – Marchfest 2026 has a new format. So we wanted to take a moment to properly explain what that means, and why we’re excited about it.
This year, we’re putting what matters most right at the heart of Marchfest: the breweries and the beer. More than 20 independent breweries, from Nelson and across New Zealand, will be pouring their craft straight from their own stands. All up, that means 100+ beers to explore. Bliss. Have a little taster, settle in for a half, or go all in with a full pint of your favourites, it’s completely up to you.
Join us for the 19th annual Marchfest at Founders Park, Nelson on Saturday 28th March 1-9pm.

Join Us This Saturday for Bridge Street Studios Open Day
We invite you to come meet the makers, creators, and entrepreneurs bringing new energy at the opening of Bridge Street Studios on Saturday 28th March.
Bridge Street Studios, a NEW curated creative community of 20+ tenants in the heart of Nelson's CBD. The free open day invites Nelsonians to step inside, meet the creative minds behind the studios, and discover a new kind of destination in the city centre.
Anchored by Sublime Coffee Roasters and cafe, Bridge Street Studios is home to makers, designers, artisans, and small businesses working side by side in a space that's equal parts workshop, gallery, and neighbourhood hub.
The open day is a chance for the public to experience what makes Bridge Street Studios different: real people doing real work, happy to share their craft, their stories, and a few treats along the way.
