We wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone who came through the gates at this year’s Dunedin Craft Beer & Food Festival. Your generosity through wristband donations has helped raise $30,000 to give back to our community! 🙌

These funds will be equally shared between this year’s three incredible charities:

Dunedin Night Shelter - A vital service offering free emergency accommodation to individuals in need, irrespective of gender or background.

KiwiHarvest - Combatting food waste by rescuing good quality surplus food every month, and diverting it back to people who are struggling across New Zealand.

New Zealand Sea Lion Trust - Protecting, supporting research on, and providing education about, this endangered marine mammal species.

Your kindness ensures these groups can continue doing their amazing work ❤️

From the whole festival team, thank you for showing up, giving back, and being part of our 2026 story. Wishing you a safe, happy, and sun-soaked festive season! ✨
