Make The Picton Maritime Festival Unstoppable!
Covid-19 has had a terrible effect across the world and the country. This has meant that a number of events have had to be cancelled in Marlborough and elsewhere. The committee has been hard at work planning for the 16th Festival on the 22nd and 23rd January to be a safe and enjoyable one. At the moment, if the Covid-19 levels are at level 1 or below, the festival will be on! With this in mind the Festival Committee will be implementing the recommendations of the New Zealand Event Sector Voluntary Code.We wanted to touch base with you to let you know of some changes that we are making to our upcoming event to make it even safer for you to attend the event. While we remain in COVID-19 Alert Level system, we are inspired to align with the recently released Events Sector Voluntary Code and we are hoping you’ll help us by doing your bit to stop the spread of COVID-19. The Events Sector Voluntary Code has been released to outline what organisers can do to safely deliver events. This includes following best practice expectations, which are based on Ministry of Health guidance to reduce COVID-19 related risks. It will enable our organisation to support the Ministry of Health in contact tracing if an outbreak of COVID-19 were to occur. We’ve always taken the health and safety of you all as our number one priority, so this is only a touch up on what we already do.
What is it that we are encouraging you to do?
So how are we doing our part?
To help you, you might also see a number of new signs around the Picton Foreshore. This will include:
We can’t wait to see you at the Festival on the 22nd and 23rd January 2021. Please help us to keep Marlborough safe by following the guidelines to keep our Kiwi Summer Unstoppable.
The format will be similar to the last one, with a locals concert on the Friday (4PM to 9.30PM) and the normal festival on the Saturday (11AM to 10.30PM). Go to the Schedule page to see more information about what is happening and who is performing.
