WELCOME TO
ART DECO
NAPIER
How will you Deco?
The Napier Art Deco
Festival is a celebration
of the resilience and
spirit of the people
of hawke's bay who 90
years ago courageously
rebuilt their town and
their lives following
the catastrophic 1931
earthquake; and of the
vibrant, creative East
Coast community Hawke's
Bay has grown into.
Over five days every February this celebration takes over
the streets, the restaurants, cafés, bars, theatres, galleries,
music venues, parks and homes of Hawke's Bay (and even
the skies above) with over 300 events to choose from.
More than 40,000 people come from all over New Zealand
and the world, performers and visitors alike, to make this a
summer Festival like no other.
Whether you’re an avid Art Deco enthusiast, love the
romance of a bygone era (and a good dress up) or simply
want to kick back and have a great time with family and
friends in our lively little region, exactly how you Deco is up
to you. But one thing’s guaranteed, you’ll be back for more
next year.

Stuart Ainslie, Board Chair, Art Deco Trust
The Art Deco Trust has great pleasure in presenting the Napier Art Deco Festival programme for
2021.
Early in 2020, Michael Fowler and I mused about how we might see a return to the roaring
twenties little did we know that the COVID-19 pandemic would give small glimpses of the great
depression! As a result the Art Deco Trust like many other businesses has had to look closely at
our operation to ensure that we continue to advocate and deliver on our commitment to heritage
and celebrating Art Deco culture. The Art Deco Trust‘s function is not only to create a spectacular
festival, we are so much more than that.
Spanning five days and involving hundreds of events with many free for all to enjoy we look
forward to revealing a number of new events hosted across Hawke’s Bay centred in Napier and
also including Hastings and Central Hawke’s Bay.
An important partnership of the Trust is the one with Napier City Council. We thank the
councillors and staff for their continued support. We are also very appreciative of the continued
and generous sponsorship support of many local businesses to cover the cost of putting on the
free events , not forgetting our amazing ADT staff and volunteer team.
Lastly, with the events of 2020 reminding us of what a great backyard we have across Hawke’s
Bay we encourage you to explore our events across the region as well as the premier Napier Art
Deco Festival exploring what surely must be the best Art Deco waterfront location in the world.
Keep safe and have fun!
Nga Mihi
Welcome from Kirsten Wise, Mayor of Napier
The well-established and much loved Art Deco Festival is a wonderfully vibrant event which
brings our community together. This year we are commemorating the 90th anniversary of the
1931 earthquake, from which Napier’s Art Deco heritage emerged. This was a very different event
which brought our community together in response to the devastation, but also in the recovery
and building up of our city again, and of its residents' lives.
I proudly support the Art Deco Trust in all they do, and the Art Deco Festival weekend is a
particular highlight in my calendar. It is wonderful to see both Napier residents and visitors alike
enjoying the many events being held during the Festival; whether it be watching the car parade,
competing in the soapbox derby, enjoying the bands playing or the aerial displays, or relaxing on
the long lawn with friends, there is something for everyone.
I offer a very warm welcome to all that are planning to attend this fabulous event, especially if you
are new to the festival and this part of the world, I hope you are able to enjoy all Napier, and the
wider Hawke’s Bay, has to offer.
The ART DECO TRUST organise the NAPIER ART DECO FESTIVAL as part of its annual
activities The Art Deco Trust is committed to the preservation, restoration, promotion and
celebrations of Hawke’s Bay’s Art Deco Heritage.
