Kōanga Spring Bonfire

The Manawatū River's been building up lots of driftwood ripe for a bonfire, so rug up and enjoy a night by the fire on us!

A bonfire big enough to spot from Te Motu o Poutoa, smaller bonfires for marshmallow roasting, food trucks, fire dancers, and DJs is sure to make this a cosy one for you to hang out on Ahimate Beach. Bring a deckchair, torch, and marshmallows and you'll be well set!

Brought, to you by Rangitāne o Manawatū, Rangiwahia Environmental Arts Centre Trust, and Palmerston North City Council, explore Ahimate at night with lanterns and light forests.
