Festival organisers do it again, says Chamber

Organisers of the NZ Festival are to be congratulated for putting together another world-class programme for early next year, says Chamber of Commerce Chief Executive John Milford.

“They have again outdone themselves.

“Attracting these acts, including several Australasian exclusives, is due to a lot of hard work and the city’s reputation for staging top-class events and attracting big crowds.

“I have no doubt that February’s festival will build further on that reputation.

“I urge Wellingtonians to get in behind it and make it the success it has been for many years, and to also make welcome the thousands of visitors from outside the region who it will attract to our city.

"We're delighted to be hosting a Chamber business after five event next week with the NZ Festival team, on how businesses can be a part of New Zealand’s largest celebration of international arts.

“The festival is a much-anticipated part of our calendar for both cultural and economic reasons and deserves our full support.”
