Home of the region's only race track, speedway, aquatic centre and go-kart track, Richmond is nestled beside the internationally significant Waimea Estuary and nature's playground Rabbit Island (Moturoa). Our warm climate and great venues lend themselves to a wide range of outdoor events such as Jazz in the Park (January), Summer Fare (February), Family Bike Ride (March), Speedway Easter Champs (April), Tasman Band Tour (May), Harness Racing (June), Rabbit Island Triathlon (July), Rally of Nelson (August), Nelson Pony Club Rally (September), Top Team (October), Santa Parade (November) and Richmond Market Day (December).
