Now in our 17th Year, here's where we are currently on our journey to becoming a completely sustainable event:

We Source Local Whenever Possible: Entertainment - More locally based, meaning less carbon footprint.

​Food and Drink - we source locally wherever possible and encourage our stallholders to do the same.

We showcase local food and drink, for example - NZKS, Mussels, Pete's Naturals, Banjo Brews, Quest Catering.

All Equipment for the festival is hired from within Marlborough

We work with local environmental groups to minimise waste.

We have a water bottle fill up station to minimise plastic water bottle use

We ask our food trucks to only use compostable packaging

We encourage attendees to bring their own cups and plates

We use Compost/Pig buckets for organic waste

We source reused/upcycled waste packaging to be used as part of the build a boat challenge

We re-use items from build a boat year after year, and old mussell floats for the raft races

All of our promotional signage has been designed to be reused year after year.

We do a beach clean up before, during and after the event on Friday and Saturday. (contact us if you would like to assist!)
