Autumn Vibes Festival

Stadtmusik, Sunset NZ & Technomatic present:
Autumn Vibes Festival — May 2026

When the leaves start to turn and the evening air gets that crisp autumn edge — that's when the city comes alive in a different way.

AV Festival is a two-night urban festival experience built around warmth, deep sound, and togetherness. Think golden tones, autumn textures, cozy energy, and dancefloors that pull you in and don't let go.
