VINTAGE WEEKEND

Join us at the Whanganui Vintage Weekend, our premier heritage event. Spread over three days during Wellington Anniversary Weekend in January each year.

Dress-up in costume, visit the markets and enjoy the bands, food and wine.

The heritage town centre kicks off the celebration with a Caboodle street carnival on the Saturday. The Whanganui Riverside Shindig on the Sunday, continues the celebration of our heritage roots in the old town area along the riverfront. Monday sees the mood rev up with the Soapbox Derby watch home-made carts racing down an insane slope or be really daring and enter yourself!

The Vintage Weekend is a few days of old-time fun and tomfoolery for all! One of the top events in Whanganui.
