Tahuna Summer Sounds brings the finest local bands and musicians back to the beach, with 20 of the hottest local bands and acoustic acts set to take the stage.

Complementing the live music is a dedicated youth and family zone, with a heap of ‘have a go’ beach themed sports, games and interactive challenges on offer.

Proudly presented by Nelson City Council, Tahuna Summer Sounds is a salute to local live music and a celebration of the classic Kiwi summer. There will be something for everyone at these family-friendly events.

Tahuna Summer Sounds is a free community event dependent on fine weather.

RAIN DATES: If wet, the events will be rescheduled to the following day (Saturday 12 and 19 Jan).
