Picton Maritime Festival

With Picton located at the heart of our big backyard, we’ve been keen supporters of the Picton Maritime Festival since 2013.

We’re major fans of the Picton Maritime Festival

Supporting the Picton Maritime Festival is one of the highlights of our year! As a major sponsor of this fantastic summer event, we provide financial and logistical support. We’re also actively involved during the two days of festivities, with our own marquee staffed by enthusiastic Interislander crew.

About the Picton Maritime Festival

The Picton Maritime Festival happens on Wellington Anniversary Weekend every year. Situated under and around the shady palm trees of Picton's stunning foreshore, it’s a nautically-themed weekend event involving family activities, live music, stage acts, races, games, yummy food and much, much more. As evening falls, headline music acts light up the stage, followed by a spectacular fireworks display that illuminates the harbour.

How we support Picton Maritime Festival

With Picton located at the heart of our big backyard, we’ve been keen supporters of the Picton Maritime Festival since 2013. On the day, our own volunteer staff can be found handing out goodies and entertaining children from our Interislander marquee.

“We're so grateful for Interislander's support as our supreme sponsor, helping make the Picton Maritime Festival a free, fun, family event. Their sponsorship doesn't just help us; it brings our community closer, spreading joy and making memories that will last.”

Beryl Bowers, Event Manager and Chairperson of the Picton Maritime Festival
