New Zealand’s biggest festival of local music.

Bringing together local acts across a range of genres, Jim Beam Homegrown is a celebration of Aotearoa’s music scene. With five stages set along the waterfront, delicious food, carnival rides, and interactive experiences, it’s the ultimate send-off for the summer season.
 
The lineup of bands and DJs ranges from reggae, roots, and hip-hop, to rock, pop, electronic, and drum and bass. Each stage covers a different genre, taking you on a musical journey across the festival site.
