🚗 **Rev Up Raglan – Event Update** 🚗
After careful consideration, the Rev Up Raglan committee has made the decision to postpone the 2026 event (17–19 April) to April 2027.
This has not been an easy decision.
Rev Up was created with the intention of bringing a unique, high-quality event to Raglan outside of the busy summer season — supporting the town, our local businesses, and the wider community during a key time of year.
In making this decision, we have taken a number of factors into account, including current economic pressures, rising fuel costs impacting travel, and the timing alongside other major events in Raglan, particularly the upcoming World Surf League event.
We also explored moving the event to later in the year. However, staying true to the purpose of Rev Up — supporting Raglan in the shoulder season — we have chosen to retain the timing and deliver the event properly in *April 2027*.
Our priority is to ensure we deliver an event that meets the standard we have set for ourselves, our sponsors, and our attendees. Rather than compromise that vision, we believe postponing is the right decision.
👉 Rev Up Raglan is postponed — NOT Cancelled.
We will be back April 2027, with the same format, built bigger and better.

đź’› A message to our community and visitors
For those who had planned to be in Raglan over the 17–19 April weekend — we would still love to welcome you.
Raglan will continue to offer a fantastic experience, including:
🎶 Live music and hospitality at the Harbour View Hotel over the course of the entire weekend, Friday, Saturday & Sunday!
🚤 Raglan Harbour lunch and sunset cruises with Wahine Moe
🌊 A relaxed weekend to explore and enjoy everything our town has to offer
Our goal has always been to support Raglan — and that continues, even as we take the time to build Rev Up into the event it deserves to be.
---
We sincerely thank our sponsors, partners, clubs, vendors, and community for your support and understanding.
We will be officially contacting those vendors, clubs and sponsors in the coming days to talk through the details for a great event in 2027
We have built a strong foundation this year, and we look forward to bringing Rev Up Raglan back in 2027 — with the scale, energy, and experience it was always intended to deliver.
We don’t run average events — and we’re not starting now!
We look forward to welcoming you to our beautiful town in April of this year and again for REV UP in 2027!
