An institution in our country’s flourishing dance music culture in the 90's and early 2000's, The Gathering was an annual festival of music, dance, freedom and participation.

The Gathering 2002 captured the festival's sixth consecutive year, as New Zealand’s dance community gathered at the tip of the South Island to see out the old year and dance in the new. Eight zones of entertainment covered the entire spectrum of modern dance music, for three nights of good times & great vibes.
