Heading to Electric Avenue? Why Not Turn It Into a Road Trip Adventure.

Are you gearing up for the Electric Avenue Festival in Christchurch? If you're based in Queenstown and fancy a scenic route to the festival, why not transform it into an unforgettable road trip with a couple of stellar stop-offs along the way? Pack your bags, grab your sunglasses, and let’s hit the road—Evolve Rentals has got the perfect itinerary for you!

The Route: Queenstown to Christchurch via Lake Tekapo

The journey from Queenstown to Christchurch is a smooth, picturesque drive, taking about six hours. But, why rush? Halfway through, you'll find the breathtaking Lake Tekapo, a spot that's too good to just drive by. We recommend stopping here overnight to truly soak in the serene beauty and perhaps catch one of the most stunning starlit skies you’ll ever see. The Dark Sky Project offers experiences that are out of this world, literally!

Culinary Pit Stops

On your way to Lake Tekapo, make sure to visit High Country Salmon, where you can indulge in some of the freshest salmon in New Zealand. It’s the perfect ingredient for a delicious pre-festival dinner, giving you a taste of local flavors before the big day of music and fun.

Festival Ready!

Now, let’s talk festival strategy. Electric Avenue Festival is one of the highlights of the summer in Christchurch, bringing together music lovers from all over the country. To make the most of it:

• Stay Hydrated: It’s going to be a long, exhilarating day so keep water on hand at all times.
• Slather on the Sunscreen: The NZ sun can be unforgiving, so apply and reapply sunscreen to protect your skin.
• Party Responsibly: Enjoy the festival vibes but remember, no drink driving. Plan ahead to ensure you have a safe and responsible way to travel after the festival.
