Dates set for 2017 Queenstown Winter Festival

The dates for New Zealand’s  four-day 2017 Queenstown Winter Festival have been confirmed - 22 to 25 June.


The official celebration to mark the beginning of Queenstown’s winter season is being re-shaped into a shorter, action packed four-day event from next year.
The dates are deliberately timed to be around two weeks after the scheduled start to the ski season but prior to the Australian and New Zealand school holidays.

Queenstown Winter Festival director Lisa Buckingham says the revamped Festival will retain community favourite events and inject some new and exciting events for 2017.

“We are looking forward to presenting this newly-formatted festival to the community and visitors next year. We work very hard to ensure that the Queenstown Winter Festival is an event that locals and visitors alike can enjoy,” said Buckingham.
