If there’s one season every year that you wouldn’t miss. If you can hold your own in a debate on the finer points of preparation, so long as it’s straight out of the river, and slapped between two bits of white bread with a squeeze of lemon.
And if you like your days out to be more than a little fun; then this is your festival.
The Great West Coast Whitebait Festival is a celebration of the best of Kiwi hospitality – with a dash of kiwi ingenuity thrown in – and a focus on our very favourite foods.
We’re bringing the choicest bits of the Coast to Christchurch for one day. And serving them up with a bucketload of entertainment.

It’s food. It’s fun.
It’s gourmet nosh-ups, it’s classic Coast on a plate and it’s more bait cooked up in more styles than you can poke a stick at. We’ve got something for everyone, and we’re celebrating one of the last best places in New Zealand, with around 7,000 of our closest friends.
And it’s all for a good cause – Christchurch.
If you’re a true blue Kiwi (or even an honorary one – same dif, ‘cause we’re all mates here) with a bit of an appreciation for the best this little country of ours can dish up.
