Lōemis Festival

Celebrate art in all its forms for two weeks this June. The annual festival, Lōemis, is back and ready to warm up your Wellington winter. Relying largely on local creatives, the festival provides a rich mix of art, music, performance, interactive experiences, and food. 

This year’s lineup features a wide range of performances spread across multiple locations. This includes an enchanting light and sound installation inspired by forest spirits at Pukeahu National War Memorial Park. Roxy Cinema hosts a series of silent, avant-garde films. They’ll be backed with live music from the acclaimed Stroma ensemble. Award-winning chef Max Gordy returns with a culinary experience that takes its cues from Neolithic times. Bret McKenzie gives a sneak preview of songs from his forthcoming record ʻFreak Out City’. There are plenty of other events that will motivate you to brave the chill and enjoy the tenth annual creative festival.
