Ohakune Mard Gras | 2026

New Zealand’s biggest dress up party Mardi Gras for 2026 and this year is set to be one of the biggest yet.
Dates are locked for 2026, with July 4th in Ohakune and July 11th in Queenstown. Start pulling the crew together, line up the flights or the road trip, and get your accommodation sorted early - you already know how quickly it all goes. Mid-winter plans don’t get much better than this.
Crews roll in from every corner of the country. Costumes take over the streets. It’s crazy. It’s loud. It’s unforgettable.

Start the group chat. Book the trip. We’ll see you there!
