Gisborne hosts 1 festival in this guide: Rhythm and Vines.
Gisborne has 1 festival in this guide. They run in December, and festival-day temperatures range from 24°C (75°F) to 24°C (75°F), with nights down to 14°C (57°F). That range is the reason there is no single "Gisborne festival outfit". The answer changes by month and by site.
Conditions are moderate across the board, so the day-to-night temperature drop is the thing to plan for rather than the weather itself.
The ground matters as much as the sky. Every festival here is on open field, which puts broken-in trainers or a low boot at the top of the list for most of these events. 1 of the 1 has camping on site, so outfits have to survive living in a bag on the ground for several days.
Stylistically the crowd here leans party, y2k, camping and rave. Rhythm and Vines is the largest of them at around 25,000 people, and it sets the tone the smaller ones react to. None of that is a dress code. It is what you will see, which is worth knowing if you would rather blend in or deliberately not.
