The Queenstown Winter Festival celebrates the start of winter like only Queenstown can.
The celebration kicks off Thursday 22nd of June, and is followed by four days of fireworks, street parties, music, comedy,
Apres Ski dining, mountain events, family fun and a touch of madness. There’s something for all ages and many of the
events on the programme are free.
Queenstown has been celebrating for a long time: Way back in 1975, a bunch of locals decided that the start of winter was
a great excuse to have a party. What started as a few lolly scrambles for the kids and mountain races for the adults, is
now New Zealand’s – and perhaps the southern hemisphere’s - biggest celebration of winter. And everyone’s invited!

The Queenstown Winter Festival celebrates the start of winter like only Queenstown can, fireworks, street parties, music,
comedy, Apres Ski dining, mountain events, family fun and a touch of madness.
On Thursday 22nd June the opening celebration will kick off four days of fun, jam-packed with events. From mountain bikes
on snow to flailing wannabe Birdmen plunging into the icy lake, family events to DJs and nightlife, - there’s something on
the programme for everyone.
Queenstowners have always loved winter but it was made official when the very first Queenstown Winter Festival took
place in 1975. A group of locals decided that the start of winter was a great excuse to have a party. They organised races
on the mountains, with lollies for the little people and beers for the bigger people. With a concert or two and a town-wide
ball thrown in, Winter Festival was a great success. News of the fun spread quickly and the next year people came from
further afield to join the festivities.
Since then the Festival has evolved into New Zealand's - and perhaps the southern hemisphere's - biggest celebration of
winter! The event attracts more than 45,000 visitors, all celebrating the arrival of winter in true Queenstown style!
