Held on the first Saturday of October each year, the Kaikoura Seafest is celebrating it's 21st birthday this year.
The festival is a taste, sight & sound extravaganza for those who enjoy good food, good company and a good time. Festival stalls offer an abundant variety of food and beverage as well as live entertainment on the Big Top stage throughout the day.
Seafest has become known as a festival that braves the elements. A huge centre marquee means festival–goers can enjoy the day and shelter from sun, rain, hail or snow.
