About Set Fire to the Brass

A brass festival built around competition and spectacle rather than a single headline act. Bands travel from across the region to march and play in massed formations, with judges scoring precision and sound as much as showmanship. Expect polished uniforms, drilled routines and the kind of civic pride that only a brass contest can muster.

Where to stay nearby

Wellington itself is the obvious base, sitting right at the venue and offering the widest choice with 141 hotels to pick from — handy given the early start. Lower Hutt, about 14km out, has a smaller but decent spread of 44 hotels and works well if you're happy with a short drive in. Porirua, 18km away, has just 15 hotels listed, so book early there if you want to stay outside the main city.
