This has to be Kaikoura's premier festival and features fabulous food and wine from around the region! Seafest is an annual celebration of the abundance of the ocean and all it represents for the Kaikoura region.

The festival is a taste, sight & sound extravaganza for those who enjoy good food, good company and a good time.

An impressive variety of products offered, presented in many weird and wonderfully creative ways - enjoyed with continuous live entertainment on the Pirate stage throughout the day.

The fine food, wines, and beverages featured are predominantly from the local Kaikoura, Marlborough, and North Canterbury regions.

Seafest is held at the Takahanga Domain, situated on the Esplanade, Kaikoura and this year will be held on 3rd October 2009.
