The Pacific Crystal Palace Spiegeltent is almost ready and raring to go.
Harcourt's Arts Festival director, Pitsch Leiser, said they were on the home straight with the inside near complete.
"All we need now for the inside is the chairs. We are very pleased with how it has turned out and it looks beautiful."
The spiegeltent is owned by a New Zealand consortium of festivals and is decorated with stained glass windows, wood panelling and flooring, ornate lighting and mirrors.
Mr Leiser said it has a Kiwi touch with the inside design representing a lot of Kiwi icons.
