Overview

121 Festival is the biggest music and dance festival in greater Wellington. Join crowds of like-minded partygoers at Tauherenikau Racecourse, South Wairarapa, for three days of tunes from top tier international and emerging artists. There is something for everyone, with music ranging from hip hop and house and to techno and soul.

This is a festival with a difference. The location, Tauherenikau, is a diverse site. Complete with war bunkers, 1920s ballrooms and idyllic forest clearings, guests are in for an epic weekend. The bush and trees surrounding the festival make up one of the region's top native ecosystems. Tauherenikau is home to 2000 year old Kahikatea trees, thought to be the most ancient in the world.

Camp among the pines for a quintessential getaway. You can BYO tent, otherwise splash out on their glamping or premium packages. There are also cardboard and pre-pitched tent options if you're not already armed with camping paraphernalia. Basic amenities such as toilets, showers and drinking water are provided at all camping sites.
