An annual festival based in Paihia and Russel where top local and international jazz and blues musicians come together and perform for 3 days. You can purchase a “badge” and listen to as much music as you can until your heart’s content.

Marking the opening of summer sailing, this challenging race is one of the biggest of its type in the world and showcases the great north! It starts in Auckland and finishes off in Russell and whether you’re aiming to compete or see the waters light up with sails, you’ll love this event.
