Join us for our Awards Celebration Evening!
Friday 11 September 2026 | 6:15pm-11pm | Great Lake Centre
The Stella Awards programme finishes off each year with the prestigious Awards Celebration Evening (we like to call it the ACE!), an absolute highlight for the Taupō business community.
This year will feature a secret theme that we think you’ll all love. Dress code is “Taupō Formal”, but we encourage you to wear Black and Gold to match our Stella Awards colours.
The highlights for the night include:
- An evening to showcase all of our finalists
- Awards presented to the Winners and the Runners-up
- Celebrity MC is none other than the legendary Ben Hurley
- A splendid feast from the best in the business, Prue Campbell from Yum Food Co.
- A selection of complimentary Lakeman beers and prosecco from Scenic Cellars @ The Merchant of Taupō
- Plenty of entertainment, crazy games and prizes on offer
- And of course, a chance to unwind amongst friends….
Location: Great Lake Centre Main Ballroom – 5 Story Place
Date & Time: 11 September. Doors open 6:15pm, ACE begins 7:00pm
