Magic Land Adventure Sports Festival

On 28 and 29 March, the picturesque Glendhu Bay will see thrill-seekers and nature-lovers unite for Magic Land. It’s a celebration of human spirit and a testament to the thrill of pushing boundaries.
Nestled amidst the breath-taking scenery of the Southern Alps, Wānaka is renowned for its adrenaline-pumping adventure activities. This is the second year we’ve put on the festival, which is a vibrant celebration of all things extreme with an environmental consciousness to it.
Magic Land’s tree planting project is in full swing and we have successfully planted the first instalment of 500 natives. Our goal is to plant 3000 all together over the next few years. You can donate to our long-term project anytime. Our plan is to leave the area better than we found it, our thank you for being able to enjoy being here and using this land for our flying festival.
The idea for replanting came from our love of nature and spending so much time in it – we always try to leave places better than when we found them. We started raising money at Magic Land’s debut festival last year, with the idea to plant your own tree. We have had support coming in from all sorts of avenues – people started donating towards the project right from the get go, and we raise money from festival goers last year, too.
The plan moving forward is to plant 500 trees for every year we run the festival. You can donate to our long-term project anytime by going to the ticket section of our website and writing a price in the ‘Trees’ section magiclandfestival.com
The rest of the schedule includes live music, aerial performers, skydiving, an acrobatics competition, base jumping and speed flying, and yoga and sound healing. Beyond the adrenaline-fueled action, though, is a unique opportunity to connect with nature and experience the beauty of the New Zealand wilderness, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the festival atmosphere and soak up the stunning surroundings.
Whether you’re an experienced adventurer or simply seeking a unique and unforgettable experience, this festival promises to deliver an unforgettable weekend of excitement and wonder. Come and join us to make the memories of a lifetime in our giant outdoor playground, or as we call it, Magic Land.
