The Spectacle #thespectacle #runthespectacle #nelson #nelsontasman #uniquelynelson #uniquelynelsonWe’re on the hunt for our 2026 volunteer legends! 🙌

It’s our incredible team of volunteers who have helped bring The Spectacle to life over the past two years, and this year we’re looking for almost 200 legends to help make it happen again!

To say a huge THANK YOU for giving up your time and energy, every volunteer will receive a Spectacle volunteer tee - so you can look the part while cheering, directing, supporting and generally making race-day magic happen!

If you’ve got the time and capacity to volunteer this year, we’d love to hear from you.

Cherry Blossom Festival – This Weekend

This spring, Nelson will celebrate a momentous milestone with our sister city, Miyazu, marking 50 years of friendship, cultural exchange and connection between the two cities.
Nelson Miyazu Sister City Association Chairperson Linley Smith says it is wonderful to be celebrating 50 years of the sister city relationship.
“This friendship was started due to the similarities between the Nelson Boulder Bank and the Miyazu sand bridge Amanohashidate and has endured over the years thanks to successive mayors from both cities and the dedicated sister city association members.”
Five decades later, that friendship has grown into one of New Zealand’s longest-standing sister city relationships. The milestone will be celebrated at this year’s Cherry Blossom Festival at Miyazu Garden on Saturday 26 September, from 11am to 3pm.
