Highlife festival will be returning to the Matakana Coast to celebrate the end of 2020 and ring in the new year.

Revel in the occasion with live bands, DJs, dancers, performers, gourmet food, craft beverages, multiple areas to explore, lots of good people and a heart-stopping fireworks display to welcome in the New Year!

The boutique New Year’s Eve event is held at Ascension Wine Estate. Previously, it had been held in stunning locations like Waiheke Island, but has moved to the beautiful Ascension Vineyard right here in Matakana. It's a one-night festival, so it's perfect for anyone who doesn't want to spend three days camping, using communal showers and getting no sleep. This event sees a higher class of New Year celebrations, so leave the jandals and singlets at home and get a little dressed up. The festival is R22.

Last year's event went well with a really great crowd in attendance and no major issues. Organisers are limiting the capacity further this year and will have all the resources in place to make sure they deliver another quality, safe festival.

The festival sells out every year, and with limited numbers you need to get in quick. If you are coming in from out of town, there are plenty of options for local accommodation, or transport options back to Auckland.
