New Zealand to host mussel festival

A festival celebrating New Zealand's green shell mussel is to go ahead this month.

Taking place on March 20th, the festival will see chefs and stallholders cooking up a storm at the annual Havelock Mussel Festival.

This year's event includes cooking demonstrations, wine tasting, water displays and mussel opening competitions, while some of New Zealand's finest performers will entertain the crowds.

Some of the country's top chefs will be on-hand to show people the best way to cook mussels, and Kiwi musicians the Marlborough Boys College and Queen Charlotte Kapa Haka will perform.

New Zealand's green lipped or green shell mussel is a native New Zealand shellfish and is easily distinguished by the bright shell, which opens to reveal creamy white (male) or orange (female) flesh.

Havelock, which is located in the country's South Island's Marlborough Sounds region, is located about five and a half hours drive from Christchurch.
