Winter- Jun/Jul/Aug

(Click "Events" title on the sub-menu for a more detailed calendar.)

Snow on the mountains, fresh cold air - add on a Rail Trail experience to the Queenstown Winter Festival (June 2015).

Take part in the Great Naseby Water Race in August.

Keep warm in August by walking/running in the road race up to 10km from Clyde Dam to Alexandra - you don't have to be a top athlete.

Clyde holds a mid-winter market at the Memorial Hall.

And if you really want to experience a Central Otago midwinter, the Brass Monkey Rally for motorcyclists at Queens Birthday weekend is only for the brave.

Both Dunedin and Middlemarch celebrate midwinter with a Festival of Lights.
