Queenstown is turning it on yet again this weekend – whether you are a music lover, seasoned athlete or chilled out weekend market goer you have plenty of options to fill the long weekend. Music lovers will flock to the Queenstown Lakes District in their thousands this weekend to attend the biannual Rippon Festival in Wanaka and Creedence Clearwater Revisited in Queenstown. Meanwhile, some of the world’s best mountain runners will grunt it out on the new Shotover Moonlight Marathon which will see them run from Skippers Canyon to Moke Lake over rugged mountainous terrain. Then, of course, the usual abundance of weekend markets will keep those looking for a more chilled out weekend activity entertained. If you are about on Monday, don’t miss the Wakatipu Waitangi Day celebrations in the Queenstown Gardens from midday. And if you are looking for last minute accommodation see our room options here.
