What a place to holiday
Nelson and Tasman is a pretty amazing place to live, but an even better place to holiday. So with that in mind and whether you’re a local or visiting from outside the region, Nelson Weekly has put together this holiday edition packed full of things to
do in Nelson and Tasman over the New Year period. This summer holiday period is expected to be a big one, according to local tourism businesses and Nelson Tasman Tourism, and why wouldn’t it? Our beaches are superb, our national
parks are second to none and our restaurants and bars are the perfect place to refuel after a busy day. But the number of top events on is also reason for those spending their summer in Nelson to smile. The Jazz and Blues Festival, Blackcaps v
Sri Lanka internationals, top bands at the Riwaka Hotel, outdoor movies... the list goes on. So enjoy our region this summer. Enjoy the sun, the food and the beaches and on behalf of everyone at Nelson Weekly, have a very happy New Year. - Editor.
