Waiheke Cycling Festival

Friday 1 November:
An eclectic mix of Halloween, All Saints Day, Beltane and Dia de los Muertos all rolled into one evening of treats, trikes, walking and bikes.

Pedal or pace down to the Blackpool Hall between 5 - 6pm with your fancy-dressed self and scooter/bike/trike to receive gifts and blessings from the Patron Saint of Cyclists, the Madonna del Ghisallo before heading off around the Esplanade on a walking and cycling adventure - with mermaids, sailors and tall tale telling fisher folk. Upon reaching Surfdale Hall all manner of pleasant surprises await you in a labyrinth of pirates, faeries, wizards and royalty.

Bring your purse to enjoy tacos, empanadas and popcorn, and photos of your dearly beloved and departed, for our community Dia de los Muertos altar.

Free face painting, games and the wonderful Halloween trail.

The evening finishes with a free screening of the movie Coco from around 7:15pm at the Surfdale Hall

Last send-off from Blackpool Hall at 6pm.
