Applications close at the end of January, so submit your proposal on our website

Tuku 21 Whakatū Heritage Month is this year’s celebration of our rich and varied culture and history.

In April 2021, lookout for community activities that celebrate our cultures, our past and our people. Tuku 21 will see many organisations and community groups running their own events supported by Nelson City Council.

We are calling for event hosts to present their events and, if required, apply for financial assistance from the Nelson Heritage Festival Grant Fund.

Event applications will be assessed at the start of 2021 and be added to the April 2021 programme for promotion if supported by the selection panel.
