📣 CALLING ALL PERFORMERS 📣

We’re on the lookout for performers for our 2026 festival on the 21-22 August.
This year we are moving away from stages and are planning pop-up performances around the concourse. Think an Irish pub seisiún, an Americana jam on hay bales, a gypsy jazz band in a speakeasy, a Balkan wedding band, or a sea shanty choir bellowing in the corner.

We're also on the hunt for roving theatre! Unexpected encounters, offbeat characters, and moments of surprise that stop people in their tracks and send them off grinning. If you can add a spark of the bizarre, the playful, or the wonderfully absurd to a festival full of great beer, we want to hear from you 🫵

Expressions of interest are now open until the end of May. Submit your application using the form here: https://beervana.co.nz/beervana-2026-live-music

Huge thanks to New Zealand Media & Entertainment for backing us over the past six years 💛

We’re thrilled to continue our partnership with the Wellington Culinary Events Trust, marking six years of working together.

As exclusive media partner, NZME is proud to support and amplify some of Wellington’s most iconic events, including Wellington On a Plate and Beervana, connecting them with passionate audiences across Aotearoa through our wide-reaching media platforms.

This partnership reflects a shared commitment to showcasing Wellington’s food and beverage scene and supporting the continued growth of these much-loved events.

There’s nothing better than a getaway that combines cold beer, great food and sunshine - and the Sunshine Coast delivers on all three 🍺🍤☀️

Our Beervana x Visit Sunshine Coast Scavenger Hunt winner, Sammi, explored breweries, beaches and everything in between on a trip that perfectly captured what holidays should feel like. If you’re dreaming up a 2026 escape, this one’s worth a read.
