"We are thrilled with the way our team of five million in Aotearoa has handled this global health crisis. Being Covid-19 free is the determining factor for our festival to go ahead and it has happened much faster than we anticipated," Splore Festival director John Minty said.
"There are so many small businesses that make up the fabric of Splore and I am really happy to engage our loyal crew and also support all our suppliers, sponsors, performers, artists, food and craft vendors," he added.

Minty says that will not deter from the experience and believes the Splore family will come together.
"Some people have experienced Splore at such a deep level, that they get married at Splore. We've had upwards of 15 weddings at Splore in the last decade that we have a dedicated celebrant and a wedding planner," he said.
The organisers will announce the line-up of entertainment over the coming months.
