Community Day
Wellington’s best little non-suburb is the place to be on what used to be election day – there’ll be a host of activities including clown politicians, bike repairs, the Vogelmorn Orchestra and Barbarian’s magnificent giant kiwifruit. Not to mention Vogelmorn’s Best Coffee and Damascus’ delicious Syrian cuisine!
