Dive into the ultimate seafood celebration at the 22nd Havelock Mussel & Seafood Festival — Saturday, 14 March 2026!

Celebrate the flavours of the Marlborough Sounds with a full day of fresh local seafood, live entertainment, celebrity chef demos, and family fun.

This year’s entertainment lineup features the always-popular Wellington Sea Shanty Society, Tom Knowles & The Full Noise Boys, and more — with our headline act Shapeshifter joining us too!

Savour the best of the sea with over 40 food stalls, cooking displays from top chefs (to be announced) and the iconic Mussel Opening Competitions, including a Guinness World Record attempt.

Kids will love the Kids Zone and competitions, while adults can enjoy the atmosphere of the main stage, VIP area, and industry exhibits in the Marine Farming Association Tent.

Every ticket supports local causes — proceeds go directly back into community grants and help showcase Havelock as the capital of the NZ Greenshell™ Mussel.

✨ Under 16s free when accompanied by an adult.
