Event Planning and Venues

Whakakaupapa mō kā Pāpono me kā Hingonga

Welcome to the Queenstown Lakes District Council events office. If you’re wanting to organise an event in our district then this is the place to be! We want to make your event a success by helping you: navigate permits and consents, provide venue booking information, and event organisation guides.

On this page you’ll find our events policy, helpful guides, and links to important pages you’ll need when organising your event.

What we can help you with


List your event

If you've got an event coming up in our district, you can add it to Eventfinda so others can find it and make plans to attend. You can also list your event on Destination Queenstown's "Submit an Event" page.
