Canaan Downs Festival 2008 (Takaka)

Canaan Downs, Takaka Hill, Nelson
Weds, 31st Dec 08 - Fri 2nd Jan 2009

New Zealand's favourite New Years Festival is back. Found at the legendary location of Canaan Downs on Takaka Hill. Many people bring together the energy and goodness of Aotearoa to celebrate New Years in our most enduring Festival destination which marks the 12th anniversary of New Years events at this site.

For many people around New Zealand and the world, celebrating New Year at Canaan Downs has become a definitive moment in their lives. The location, the land, the events that have occurred there are significant to us, to who we are as individuals, to the way we see ourselves collectively.

Surrounded by native bush, lime stone rocks, rolling grass lands, at the end of a long road, high on a mountain, at the top of an island, in the centre of a country cast far into the Pacific ocean its is not hard to recognise why people identify Canaan Downs as a special place.
