Saturday 13 March 2027: 7am -10.30am


At the end of the festival


Due to Health & Safety requirements, no vehicles will be permitted
on the park at the end of the festival until all patrons have cleared.
Stallholders may pack down early and carry equipment off the
park prior to this time; however, vehicle access will remain restricted.


If you would like to have a stall at the Havelock Mussel Festival the application form needs to be completed in full even if you have attended this event before.


Please note: The festival committee reserves the right to refuse entry or restrict what a stall holder sells at the festival.

What you need to know:

  • Once your application is accepted you will be emailed an invoice for your stall requirements, please pay on the invoice.

  • If you have any special requirements or questions, please email stalls@havelockmusselfestival.co.nz

  • Food stalls that have gas cooking facilities are to provide Fire Extinguishers and Fire Blankets, FENZ will be inspecting all cooking stalls.

  • If using electricity, ALL electrical cables need to be tested and tagged prior to arrival onsite for the festival.

  • We strongly recommend contactless EFTPOS. It's faster for your customers and means less cash to manage on the day. 

    • When payment is contactless it keeps everyone safe from transfer of the disease (if present)

    • It also provides faster more efficient service to your customers due to a shorter wait time for payment.

    • And lastly, it presents less risk to you and your staff due to holding cash onsite

ABSOLUTELY NO DOGS ALLOWED AT THE FESTIVAL.
