Gardens Magic: live and luminous in Wellington

There’s nothing quite like listening to live music under stars and fairy lights on a warm summer evening.

And, at the Gardens Magic summer series, held at the Soundshell in Wellington’s Botanic Gardens, you can do it for free. 

Pack a picnic and grab a spot on the grass to enjoy the dulcet tones of Kiwi music legends and new tunes from fresh talents on summer evenings from 6-25 January 2026.

As the sun goes down, the Botanic Gardens transform into a wonderland of lights, with colourful installations and displays that wind through trees and between flowerbeds.

Visit the Gardens Magic website for more information and event updates.
