Mind, body, spirit, and music in the heart of Nelson

Held in the peaceful surrounds of Founders Heritage Park, Evolve Festival is Nelson’s annual gathering of all things holistic, heart-led and healing. Over two days, you’ll find a vibrant mix of wellbeing workshops, live music, inspirational talks, healing therapies, sustainable living stalls, and wholesome kai—all designed to nurture your mind, body and spirit.

The festival features over 100 stalls and experiences, including yoga sessions under the trees, sound baths, dance classes, conscious parenting talks, and natural health clinics. Whether you're diving deep into a transformational workshop or just lying back in the sunshine with a smoothie and good tunes, there's space to go at your own pace.

With local and national speakers, performers, practitioners and makers, Evolve is as much about connection as it is about wellness. It’s a place to learn, unwind, try something new, and celebrate living well together.

So bring your open heart, kick off your shoes, and join a weekend that fills your cup in all the right ways. Evolve is more than a festival—it’s a way of being.
