Festival of Walking

The 2nd Festival of Walking is to be held in and around the Lyttelton Harbour basin from October 8 -11 . Over 42 walks are scheduled from level downtown Lyttelton to the high tops of Mt Herbert.

Lyttelton Harbour Festival of Lights

Lyttelton Harbour Festival of Lights is a “light spectacular” in mid winter. Lyttelton Harbour is turned into a magical space.  A “Lyttelton” style masquerade ball brings the festival to life. This is followed by a series of events featuring a retro scooter afternoon, local food, music and performances at restaurants, clubs and other local venues in and around the harbour. The famous street festival in Lyttelton has a spectacular mask parade, circus variety performers, music and dance, short films, an outdoor street market with winter warmers, quality art and craft and a brilliant firework display. There is something for every age group.

Being the change

Project Lyttelton is a non-profit grassroots organisation committed to building sustainable, connected community.

Through a range of innovative projects, PL is harnessing the power of community and fostering hope and inspiration to create a collective future. Our values-based approach is inclusive and participative - we recognise all people have intrinsic value.

The PL model is attracting interest both nationally and internationally and we are happy to share what we've learned.
