Over its many years of running people have arrived from all over New Zealand and the
world. A very large contingent of Motor Homers, Caravanners and Campers make it a
very important event on their calendar for the year. The event brings many people to
Marton and the surrounding area.
The festival will once again feature a stellar line-up of artists, with this year being a
very special New Zealand Showcase line up due to the Covid 19 pandemic. Artists will
be coming from the length and breadth of Aotearoa.
This year has had its challenges, not the least of them COVID 19 and the resulting
lockdown. However this year we are able to bring to you The Marton Country Music
Festival 2021 – which is a great chance to experience the strongest voices in the New
Zealand Country Music scene and beyond. There’s open mic sessions, singalongs, and
more, so bring the kids for some good family and community fun!
We do ask that you still be aware of any COVID 19 procedures as you do anywhere
else. Most of all have a great weekend and have fun!
