Lakes Festival is live for its fifth instalment in 2025 - escape the ordinary and embrace the extraordinary in our beautiful Hagley Park this December ๐ŸŒด
Eat, Drink & Dance the day away with 10 hours of outstanding international, national, and local talent at one of the most breathtaking event locations New Zealand has to offer. We have greatly increased our live entertainment offering this year featuring bands and live electronica performing across three uniquely designed stages, delivering a fully immersive festival experience like no other.
