Celebrating Culture, Strengthening Community

Multicultural Nelson Tasman celebrates diversity and strengthens inclusion across our region. Through cultural events, education, and community and stakeholder connections, we help migrants, former refugees, and all communities to thrive together in a welcoming, Te Tiriti-based Aotearoa New Zealand.

Flagship Events

Our large annual events — the Multicultural Festival and Tasman Asian Night Food Fair — showcase the diversity, creativity, and hospitality of our region. Together we celebrate the cultures that make Nelson Tasman home.

Find a Local Cultural Group

Connect with the vibrant multicultural community right here in Nelson-Tasman. Our directory brings together cultural groups, associations, and organisations from around the region, making it easy to find communities that share your heritage, language, or cultural interests. Whether you're new to the area or looking to reconnect with your roots, you'll find welcoming groups ready to share their traditions, celebrations, and support.

These organisations play a vital role in keeping our region's diverse cultures thriving. Get in touch directly with any group that interests you – they'd love to hear from you.

Multicultural Youth Nelson Tasman (MYNT)

We are a group of vibrant young people aged 13–21 from across Nelson Tasman, united by one vision, creating a paradise of unity. Some of us have lived here all our lives, others have only just arrived, but together we are building a community where every young person feels welcome and proud of who they are.

From multicultural festivals to youth movie nights, radio shows to leadership projects, MYNT is about friendship, culture, and making a real difference.

🎙 Tune in:That’s MYNT radio show – every Sunday at 7 pm on Fresh FM.

Community Education and Awareness Workshops

We facilitate community education workshops that strengthen understanding and connection across cultures. Our role is to secure funding, engage skilled facilitators, and create the opportunities for these workshops to take place.

Through this mahi we help ensure that people have access to learning opportunities which promote inclusion, celebrate diversity, and support thriving communities.
