For 16 years, Rhythm & Alps has been more than just the biggest and best New Year’s Eve festival in the South Island. It’s a summer getaway, a meeting point, a space where friendships are formed, stories are made, and friend groups reunite year after year beneath the Southern Alps. From dancing all night, to late-night missions back to camp and going to bed at sunrise, it’s the place where the best memories of summer happen.
