The Southern Alps welcomes in the New Year with its very own Rhythm & Alps, the sister festival to Gisborne's famous Rhythm & Vines. As one of the biggest festivals on offer in New Zealand, the lineup of both international and Kiwi artists is sure to get you buzzing. Whilst the festival is located closer to the alpine town of Wanaka, there are bus transfers to Queenstown easily available for the duration of the festival. Check out this year's lineup and grab your tickets here.

For perhaps the more youthful adults within your group, join the Big Night Out bar crawl. The exclusive Queenstown New Years Eve party includes free door entries and drink specials that will give you the VIP party experience you’ve always wanted. Enjoy a night of party games, epic prizes and dance in the Year Year with a crew of locals and visitors. To find out more check out the website here.
