New Zealand Festival of Nature Brings Pitch Choir and Nature Dome to Life
Forsyth Barr Stadium once again transformed into a vibrant hub of creativity and community as the New Zealand Festival of Nature returned with two standout experiences bringing thousands together under one roof in celebration of nature, music, and connection.
The weekend began with the Pitch Choir, as hundreds of voices filled the stadium for an unforgettable mass-participation choral performance on the slab. Supported by live musicians including Don McGlashan, participants came together to create a unified and uplifting sound that echoed throughout the stadium. The experience transformed the pitch into a shared performance space, celebrating connection, creativity, and the joy of collective music-making.
The following day, the stadium shifted gears for the Wild Dunedin Nature Dome, an immersive daytime experience that turned Forsyth Barr Stadium into a hands-on hub of environmental discovery. Families and visitors explored interactive exhibits, live demonstrations, and educational installations designed to showcase New Zealand’s unique biodiversity and encourage deeper engagement with the natural world.
Together, the two events demonstrated the versatility of Forsyth Barr Stadium as a venue capable of hosting both performance and immersive festival environments within a single weekend.
The New Zealand Festival of Nature continues to grow as a flagship event for the region, and this year’s Pitch Choir and Nature Dome further cemented its reputation for delivering experiences that are both meaningful and memorable, right in the heart of the city.
