Every February, Napier comes alive with the glamour and excitement of the Art Deco Festival, attracting thousands of visitors from across the globe. It’s a celebration of the 1930s era, paying homage to the city’s architectural rebirth after the devastating 1931 earthquake. With vintage cars, live jazz, elegant picnics, and immersive events, the festival is a step back in time to an era of elegance and innovation.

While Napier’s CBD is the epicenter of activity, the seaside suburb of Ahuriri offers a perfect balance of charm, relaxation, and historical significance. Away from the hustle and crowds, Ahuriri boasts its own Art Deco gems, luxurious accommodations, and a roster of incredible events that ensure your festival experience is nothing short of extraordinary.
