Festival Of Colour Tickets On Sale

LAKE WANAKA, New Zealand (February 20, 2009) – Festival of Colour tickets go on public sale from 9am on Monday 23 February with demand expected to be high for the six days of inspiring performances from local, national and international acts together with shows from some of New Zealand’s pre-eminent writers and artists.

This hugely popular celebration of the arts promises to once again be a sell out with a packed programme that ranges over theatre, dance, art, aspiring conversations, music from classical to cabaret to jazz, from ukuleles to Steinway pianos – including five world premieres. Throughout the Festival the theme of colour and environment prevails making the most of the surrounding vibrant autumnal colours and dramatic landscape.

This cultural feast for the senses runs over six days and five nights (28 April -3 May 2009) and is a must for anyone wanting to enjoy the arts against the stunning alpine backdrop of Lake Wanaka in the autumn. The Festival is generously supported by Central Lakes Trust, The Community Trust of Otago, Creative New Zealand, Infinity Investment Group, Queenstown Lakes District Council and Aurora.
