Join us as we celebrate an incredible milestone – 40 years of celebrating the Arrowtown Autumn Festival – with a spectacular evening of colour, community and celebration, all culminating in a dazzling fireworks display over Wilcox Green.
From late afternoon, Wilcox Green will come alive with food trucks, festival favourites and family-friendly entertainment, creating the perfect place to gather with friends, whānau and neighbours. As dusk falls, eyes turn skyward for a show-stopping fireworks display marking four decades of festivals, memories and community spirit.
A joyful, free community celebration and the heart of our 40th anniversary festivities – this is one you won’t want to miss.
