Winter in Hawkeโs Bay comes alive with glamour, jazz, vintage fashion, and unforgettable experiences during the annual Winter Deco Weekend in Napier. Held from 17โ19 July 2026, this boutique celebration brings the spirit of the Art Deco era back to the streets of Napier, giving visitors the chance to immerse themselves in the elegance and excitement of the 1930s.
From dazzling cocktail evenings and live jazz performances to vintage car displays and themed dining experiences, Winter Deco offers something for everyone.
