WellFest 2027 — Queenstown’s Wellness Festival
February 19th - 21st 2027
Wellspace, 59 Boyd Road, Kawarau Falls, Queenstown NZ
OUR MISSION STATEMENT
Tune Up Your Vibration.
Become a positive influence to those around you. Together, we can create more impact by embodying positivity, vitality, and connection — generating love within ourselves, each other, and with nature.
About the Event
Queenstown’s only wellness camping festival, set beside the stunning Kawarau River.
WellFest is something we create together. Come not just to receive, but to contribute your energy, creativity, presence, and gifts to the collective experience.
Workshops by day, party by night - come solo, with friends, or bring your family. This wholesome weekend will fill your cup and recharge your soul however you choose to spend you time.
WellFest isn’t just an event, it’s a journey. Each workshop, set, and ceremony is intentionally crafted into a continuous flow. We invite you to experience the full arc of the event from our Opening to our Closing Ceremony. Think of it as a festive retreat.
The festival has a limited attendee capacity of 500. We will prioritise full festival pass holders first. If capacity is not reached, a small number of day passes may be released closer to the event date if space allows.
If you've joined us before, you already know how magical this gathering is!
