Located in Aotearoa’s most iconic dancing destination, set in the spectacular quartz and limestone landscape of Takaka Hill, Canaan Downs is a camping paradise of rolling grasslands surrounded by native beech forest.
A familiar New Years destination for over a decade, Canaan Downs has a rich history of hosting some of the most memorable events of our time. Recognising this, the Canaan Downs Festival is a return to the good vibes that can be found by representing the full diversity of Aotearoa music & culture.
This year: Featuring the One Stage, a Dance Tent, Trance Zone, Tribal Circle (and more) presenting live music, Dj’s, Vj’s and performance. Explore the site for natural artworks and sonic arts or find healing and solace and stories by the warmth of a fire.
