Nelson Region
The
Nelson region is a living canvas for one of Mother Nature’s most beautiful masterpieces. With three national parks and a paradise landscape of gold-sand beaches kissed by clear turquoise waters, it’s no wonder over 300 artists find inspiration in
Nelson. Experience the region’s creative culture through local art trails, The Suter Art Gallery, or The
Nelson Arts Festival that takes place in October. The
Nelson region is just the place to soak up some culture and sun.
