Join the party!
In Whanganui, we begin every year with a big, loud, colourful party!
While enjoying an eclectic range of vintage and celebration-themed events, we rejoice in how lucky we are to live in this humming place filled with treasured heritage buildings and framed by a stunning natural environment. We make music and art, we dance, we dress up, we travel in style. All the locals come out and we invite the neighbours to come over - there’s simply no better time to experience the Whanganui feeling, then at our biggest party.
