Since its debut in 2022, the Arrowtown Gin Festival (formerly The International Gin Festival) has become a beloved tradition in Arrowtown, attracting gin enthusiasts from across New Zealand. Hosted by Laura and Campbell, owners of You Gather Events, the festival highlights New Zealand's top distilleries with cocktails, live entertainment, and a lineup of favourite local food vendors. Set in the historic town of Arrowtown, the festival offers a day of community spirit and celebration.

While gin remains at the heart of the festival, 2027 sees an exciting evolution — with distilleries now also showcasing their vodka, whisky, and rum through a curated range of cocktails.

Whether you are a seasoned gin lover or new to the scene, Laura and Campbell welcome everyone to join in celebrating great spirits and local culture.
