About

The annual Havelock Mussel & Seafood Festival is a vital part of Marlborough’s summer.

Located in Havelock, the gateway to the picturesque Marlborough Sounds, its the perfect way to enjoy fresh seafood, alongside great kiwi music and entertainment for everyone.

As well as the native NZ Green Shell Mussel the festival also celebrates New Zealand King Salmon and the Pacific Oyster which are also grown in the pristine waters of the Marlborough Sounds. 

The Havelock Mussel & Seafood Festival is a family friendly event, with something for everyone from cuisine to culture and much more in between.

The Havelock Mussel & Seafood Festival is a community not-for-profit event and has been contributing back to the local community since 2004.
