Registrations of Interest in becoming an Event Host for Wellington Heritage Festival 2025, running from Saturday 18th October to Sunday 9th November, are now open!
Our Festival is back for another exciting year, and now with more time than ever allocated to sharing events around Te Upoko-o-te-Ika-a-Māui / the Greater Wellington Region.
We encourage event hosts to showcase a unique and interesting story, person, or place from the Greater Wellington region. It is free to be an event host.
For 2025, the Registration of Interest form (below) is REQUIRED and must be completed before 10pm, Friday 16th May, unless you have directly contacted our team. Once you have completed this step, we will reach out to you with instructions for submitting a separate Event Application form, which is also required and is due 30th June.
Please note that we follow an "Event Clustering" system, which you can learn more about here.
If you have an idea for an event but are not sure if you should submit a Registration of Interest please reach out to us at events@wellingtonheritagefestival.nz. We love hearing your creative ideas and exploring possible ways of highlighting our diverse history.
