Think markets, live music everywhere you turn, and plenty of food, wine and good vibes. There’s everything from scooter nationals on Marine Parade, comedy nights, tribute bands, yoga at sunrise, gin day celebrations, and relaxed winery sessions, right through to art exhibitions you can dip into any day of the week. Whether you’re wrangling kids in the last week of the holidays, chasing live music, or just keen for a cruisy glass of something local, you’re covered.
Here’s your full menu of events.
Peak House Sunset Session – (Saturday 24 January)
Grab a picnic rug and head up the hill for live music, lawn drinks and golden-hour vibes at Peak House. Free entry, all ages welcome, and one of those afternoons that casually turns into an evening. On rain or shine!

Super Smash T20 at McLean Park – (Saturday 24 January)
Saturday is sorted with Super Smash cricket under lights as the Stags and Hinds take over McLean Park. It’s affordable, family-friendly, and full of atmosphere including food trucks, big screen, giveaways, and plenty of action on the pitch. A proper summer crowd-pleaser – if the rain stays away!
Sunday markets & live music combo (Sunday 25 January)
Sunday is looking fine so ease into it with a wander through the Napier Sunday Market or Hawke’s Bay Farmers’ Market, then roll on to a chilled winery session, Trinity Hill’s Sunday Summer Sounds or live music at Abbey Winery are perfect excuses to linger a little longer.
