Nelson Jazz launches New Winter Festival
Nelson Jazz Festival is returning, and it has some sizzling events to lift our winter spirits. For the first time, the festival has moved to winter, and will draw people to Nelson and Tasman hospitality venues on a long weekend, 22nd to 26th July.
“We are keen to provide visitors and locals a menu of great live music to complement the food, drink and ambience of the regions cafes and bars,” commented Jak Karaitiana, president of Nelson Jazz Club. “We are excited to offer a programme of some of New Zealand’s best jazz musicians to get us out and about in a Nelson winter. It promises truly outstanding entertainment, from the sultry to the high energy.”
The premiere event of the festival is at The Rutherford on the Saturday night. The crowd will enjoy a double bill featuring the groups Jazz Embassy and Tiger Moth. Jazz Embassy brings together some of Nelsons finest players, Tiger Moth features top jazz players from Christchurch. “The Double Bill event promises to be one to delight and excite,” according to Graeme Nicholas, part of the organising committee. “Three hours of superb jazz from top musicians, I wouldn’t miss that. And it is here, in Nelson.”

We have made the decision to cancel all outdoor activities of the festival tonight. We will still run Darklight in the Cathedral, the Rutherford Hotel installation, NMIT (confirmed) and Glitch Gate on Hardy Street.
Please share this far and wide so your friends know. Given the weather the team will only be inside the venues. If you plan to come (and please do!) please take CARE on the paths in the park, they are water logged! We wish we had better news for our final night!

Thanks for your patience. We will be pushing ahead with the show tonight and most things will be on. There are some changes; Faerie Lou will be in Upper Trafalgar Street from 5-7pm as her fairy houses had some damage overnight, the Flora and Fauna installation is closed due to damage, toilets available in Montgomery and Buxton Squares only as Selwyn Place ones are out of order. We request that everyone stay on the paths please - that’s it!! Come and brave the winter weather and have some fun! See you at 5pm. 🎉 ... See MoreSee Less

PUBLIC NOTICE: Due to the predicted weather this evening we have made the decision to cancel the outdoor displays around the cathedral gardens. Given how dark and slippery it is, we feel this is the best call.
The GOOD news is we WILL still be running the interior Cathedral Darklight installation, and both the Rutherford Hotel and NMIT will be open - and #21 'Glitch Gate', so there's still beautiful installations worth visiting.
We will also run the Silent Disco at 277 Trafalgar Street however, the food carts and community stage will take a break tonight.
We’re looking forward to turning everything back on Sunday night! Stay tuned! 🙏

Nelson Arts Festival announces international Circus show Machine De Cirque.
Internationally acclaimed contemporary circus company from Quebec, Machine De Cirque will bring its celebrated production to Whakatū Nelson in October 2026, making it the only opportunity to see the show in the South Island and tickets will go on sale on 23 June.
Nelson Arts Festival is proud to announce this international event for 2026, supported by the New Zealand Government’s Event Boost Fund.
In this reckless, touching and comical show, five wacky characters find themselves alone in the world, trying to contact other survivors with the help of a strange machine. Along the way, they master a teeterboard, juggling clubs, a drum kit and even a bath towel, creating a 70-minute performance full of acrobatics, invention and broad comedy.
