Travel back in time with us to celebrate all the fun of a Vintage Carnival as part of Auckland Heritage Week in homage to local trailblazers — Henry Hayward (NZ's greatest showman), the Wonderfully Romantic William Francis Hammond and Edward Leroy the Father of Leroys Inner City Rainforest who donated it for all to enjoy!

This Vintage Carnival has fun for all ages!

The Carnival kicks off for kids Friday with Weird and Whacky Rainforest Creatures, bookings here: neeli.govender@aucklandcouncil.co.nz before continuing with the main event on Saturday from 11am!

Children's activities include; "Sammy the Steam Train" free rides, circus showcases, balloon twisting, Carnival Clown game, and much more.

For the adults that are young at heart we will showcase the fabulous Madelines Trio, Twistin' the Swing and the Madam Croque Band! Their activities will include a vintage bus ride and tour, live music, a display of vintage cars, a church bazzar and swing dancing!

Spot prizes will be available for people in their Vintage Best, focusing on the 1920s when key parts of Birkenhead’s history were happening.
