The annual Havelock Mussel & Seafood Festival is a vital part of Marlborough’s summer and is held at the Havelock Domain. With entertainment and competitions, this great family day not only celebrates the native NZ Green Shell Mussel, it also celebrates New Zealand King Salmon and the Pacific Oyster which are also grown in the pristine waters of the Marlborough Sounds. A community not-for-profit event that has been contributing back to the local community since 2004.
