It's back...
02 November 2012
The event promises an array of our best seafood, local beer and wine, amazing Kiwi musicians and entertainers, master cooking classes, celebrity chefs, and even a dash of education for the kids.
Lapping up the sun surrounded by great food and entertainment – sounds like a pretty good way to spend the long weekend right?
Venue
There are a number of ways to get into the BIG little city and you can get directions to the Festival by clicking the button to the right. But if you want our recommendation on your mode of transport, one of the most relaxing ways to get to the Auckland Viaduct has to be on the Fullers ferries. If you're lucky enough to be near a ferry terminal, there's no better way to start off your Festival experience than by kicking back and floating aboard the seas that so much of our delicious seafood comes from.
