Upcoming Events in Nelson, Tasman

South Island Show Offs

One of the most high energy events you will ever see. Cheerleaders from around the country compete for the South Island title.

Based on gymnastics tumbling, dance and stunting it is being considered as an Olympic sport. Not a pom pom in cheerleaders are real athletes and you will be amazed.

Apart from the athletic and performance skills acquired through the sport, competitive cheerleading provides athletes with an opportunity to develop life skills such as a strong work ethic, discipline, teamwork and communication

Cheerleading attracts all genders between the ages of 4 – 40 and you will be impressed by how they flip and tumble and lift and throw.

In 2024 for the first time we have added Hip Hop to our schedule to showcase the best talent that the top of the south has to offer.

‘Do the Right Thing’, get together with your friends and whanau to make a collective difference in your neighbourhood!

Following on from the success of last year’s Beach Clean-Up event, we’re inviting other local businesses and the community again to join in our efforts to clean up Tāhunanui Beach and its surroundings as part of New Zealand’s largest movement against litter during Clean Up Week 2024.

Clean Up Week is a nationwide initiative focusing the community’s attention on how much litter is polluting our environment.

Last year, approx. 67,200 volunteers took part in 627 clean-up events across Aotearoa and collected a total of 652 tonnes of waste over an area equivalent to 5,728 rugby fields.

There will be a Thank You BBQ and prizes for the most bags/most litter collected as well as spot prizes.

For Health & Safety reasons, please note that all volunteers need to register on arrival and fill out a registration form. (It will only take a minute, we promise!)
