Dive into the ultimate seafood celebration at the 23rd Havelock Mussel & Seafood Festival on Saturday 13 March 2027. With new updated hours of 11am–7pm, there's more time to soak up the sunshine and stay for the evening vibes!

The Gascoigne Wicks Stage will be pumping all day with live entertainment. Our 2027 line-up will be announced soon!

Savour the very best of the sea at 40+ food stalls, with cooking demonstrations from top chefs and local seafood producers in the NZ Live Fish Market Culinary Tent.

Keep the kids entertained at the Marlborough Lines Kids Zone, join in the dress-up competitions, and don't miss the iconic Mussel Opening Competitions.
