QUEENSTOWN WINTER FESTIVAL

JUNE 25th - JULY 04th 2010

Icon's don't just happen overnight; the American Express Queenstown Winter Festival 2010 has been 36 years in the making.

Way back in 1975 a bunch of locals decided that the start of Winter was a great excuse to have a party. They organised races on the mountain and in town, lollies for the kids, beers for the grown-ups a concert or two and a town-wide ball, all of which were a great success. News spread quickly and the next year people came from further afield to join in the festivities.

Since then the Festival has evolved into New Zealand's biggest winter party - it's a 10 day celebration of Queenstown's unique culture and community with street parties, fireworks, international and local acts, jazz, comedy, Mardi Gras, family fun, a Big Air Invitational and plenty of Mountain Mayhem.

From June 25 - July 4 this year the town will be a-buzz with around 60,000 people celebrating the arrival of Winter in true Queenstown style - WINTER STARTS HERE!
