A festival to celebrate all things cider!
Back for its 6th year of celebrating New Zealand Cider, 2021 brings with it a number of exciting changes. The festival will be staged in the beautiful Hawkes Bay region at Tomoana Showgrounds, Hastings. The NZ Cider Festival showcases the finest award-winning ciders in NZ, all in one place!

Music & Entertainment
Our festival is not just about cider! A selection of great entertainment will form the framework for a family day out, including excellent music, educational talks, tastings, and the popular GK Events kids entertainment area.
Family Friendly
The New Zealand Cider Festival creates a relaxed environment that is kid-friendly. Back by popular demand, a range of children’s entertainment will be provided by the GK Events team to ensure kids are well entertained as you soak up the atmosphere of the day.
Environmental Focus
The event continues to work towards zero waste by ensuring food and drinks are supplied in re-usable or recyclable/ compostable containers, including the festival’s souvenir sponsored glass.
