R & V is a three-day international festival that is held in Gisborne, New Zealand, annually on December 29-31 of each year. It is described and advertised as the first festival in the world to welcome in the first sunrise of each New Year. It is now a much-anticipated event just before New Years.
The festival was actually founded back in 2003, by University of Otago friends, Hamish Pinkham, Tom Gibson and Andrew Witters. It was their desire to hold an event for their university friends to celebrate the New Year in a safe and beautiful location where they would be entertained by up-and-coming and established New Zealand musicians.
The festival has always been held at the Waiohika Estate, originally the Witters family home, but is now run as a full-time event centre by the Rhythm group. They could not have found a more beautiful location for their annual event.
