The Arrowtown Autumn Festival is a cornerstone of our region’s calendar. We need an organized, high-energy individual who can balance the "big picture" vision with the "fine print" details. If you thrive on variety, from securing major sponsorships and navigating council consents to coordinating performers and managing social media, we want to hear from you.

You will be supported by a committee of dedicated volunteers. This committee meets monthly and provides governance and strategic guidance on all aspects of the Festival's operation.

The Ideal Candidate:

Community-oriented: You must have a passion for Arrowtown and community values.

Proven Event Experience: You’ve run the show before and know how to handle the pressure of live events.

Communication Ace: You can chat with sponsors, negotiate with a contractor, and lead a volunteer committee with equal ease.

Self-Starter: You are comfortable working independently from home.

Detail-Oriented: From the timing of a run sheet to the fine print of a council permit, you have a natural ability to manage complex moving parts without letting anything slip through the cracks.

Term: 12-month fixed term (Aug 1, 2026 – July 31, 2027).

Hours: Flexible, averaging 20 hours/week (peaking during festival season).

Pure Tours Queenstown thinks they have the winning duck for today's duck race @ 12:30, but not if you have your say. πŸ˜‰

You, too, can purchase a duck for $10 at the Buckingham Green between 10 - 12, but get in quick because they sell out fast!

Proceeds go to Arrowtown Rugby Club and is always a fan favourite. Come get a duck, or simply come and enjoy the race! πŸ₯
