After another incredible year, ¡Salud! Festival is back for 2026 - and we're ready to raise the bar once again.

Join us on Saturday 17 October 2026 for a day dedicated to the very best in cocktails, wine, craft beer, spirits, food and live entertainment.

Every year we've grown bigger, welcomed more incredible vendors, and created an even better festival experience. In 2026, we're taking things up another notch with an expanded lineup of boutique beverage producers from across the Manawatū and New Zealand, delicious eats from some of the region's favourite food vendors, exciting new experiences, and live music that will keep the good vibes flowing all day long.

Whether you're discovering your new favourite gin, sipping award-winning wines, enjoying a craft beer in the sunshine, or dancing with friends to live music, ¡Salud! is the ultimate celebration of great drinks, great food and great company.

Expect:

・Boutique wineries, breweries, distilleries and beverage producers from across New Zealand
