The purpose of the Picton Maritime Festival Trust - a registered charitable trust - is to raise funds and create a fundraising platform for other non-profit organisations, thereby providing support for the benefit of needy and deserving groups, individuals, community organisations and projects within the Marlborough community, particularly with the emphasis towards youth.

Our continued goal is very much about bringing families together, in a free, fun environment, celebrating the unique maritime heritage of Picton. We have established a professionally operated, safe, enjoyable annual event for the whole family and we are excited that is has now become an event in its own right, proudly occupying Wellington anniversary Weekend on the calendar. We are determined to keep the festival free of charge as entry fees to these types of events are rapidly becoming beyond financial reach of the average Kiwi family.

We invite you to come along and be part of our fabulous 13th annual festival.
