Make the Nelson Summer Fair part of your New Year’s Day holiday and enjoy a fantastic day out at Tahunanui Playing Fields.

For over 30 years, this much-loved community fair has brought locals and visitors together for a day of shopping, entertainment, food and family fun.

With more than 70 stalls featuring local crafts, products, gifts and treats, plus the popular Chocolate Wheel, Lucky Dips, live entertainment, children’s activities, food and refreshments, there’s something for everyone.

Just minutes from Tahunanui Beach, it’s an easy addition to your summer itinerary. Come along, soak up the Nelson summer atmosphere and start the year with a great community day out.

Proceeds from the 2027 Summer Fair will support the Nelson Surf Lifesaving Club’s new clubhouse redevelopment.
