Set within the active replica 1900’s township of Ferrymead Heritage Park, Nostalgia is where good food and music meet a creative culture of arts & crafts, characters and entertainment head-on.

The daylong festival will centre around a main stage situated in the heritage town square, accompanied by Cassels & Sons craft beer tent, featuring a host of guest taps and the Golden Age; a beer brewed specially in celebration of Nostalgia.

Up and coming local acts will feature on the second stage, The Punch Club, with waterfront cocktails by Rogue Society gin and Mexican street food by Mamacita’s. Elsewhere, festival-goers can enjoy a fully immersive wine-tasting tent experience by Winefolk, showcasing a selection of local wines and producers, a pick-me-up from the local caffeineistas Lyttelton Coffee Co or the soda range from Karma Cola. A smorgasbord of eats from the likes of Chef Alex Davies, Cakes by Anna, Bearlion and cult burger master Heisenburger, among others, will all be available

Catch the steam train for a scenic jaunt through the Heathcote Valley or check out the park’s numerous museums and displays. Take a stroll through the Village Market, featuring an array of artisans and providers, with over thirty bespoke market stalls along a heritage replica street, you'll find clothing, jewelry, homewares and a variety of other intriguing gems for sale.

With plenty of entertainment for all ages, including steam train rides from ‘Peveril’, the village’s original NZR F class steam train, there’s something for everyone at Nostalgia - a festival to remember.
