Since its inception over 30 years ago, the Buller Festival has grown into the country's biggest whitewater event, attracting competitors from all over New Zealand and around the world.The Buller Festival is one of the largest events held in the Murchison area each year. Usually a sleepy town, Murchison is situated on the doorstep of some of New Zealand's finest paddling grounds. The festival doubles Murchison's population for one weekend each year. It is an event that is eagerly anticipated by both the local community and the wider whitewater paddling community.
The events at the Buller Festival are designed around participation and cater to all levels of paddling ability, from beginners to elite paddlers. The aim of these events is to 'get people on the river,' encouraging both competitors and spectators to share their passion for paddling.
