The Summer Fun events will conclude on January 11th with the ‘Big Festival Day’ which will include live Celtic music from Sean Kelly who is back from a winter of playing music in Prague. There will be fun competitions for everyone, giveaways, prizes, water games, and much more.
Bring the children up to get their face painted or have a go on the Amazing one day only zipline with Canyonz.
While the Summer Fun Festival only lasts for two fun-packed weeks, the Kauaeranga Valley is a wonderful place to visit at any time with great swimming holes and beautiful bush walks. Fascinating information, games and activities are available at the Visitor Centre.
