Together we’re celebrating sustainability, creativity, and community care. We encourage everyone to bring reusable bottles, catch the bus with a short walk or ride a bike, minimise waste, and enjoy the day in true eco-warrior style. 🌿♻️
✨ Fundraising for our community:
Many of our island’s child-focused organisations will be running kai stalls, games, or markets to support their fundraising efforts — so come along, eat, play, shop, and support local!
💬 Want to be involved?
If you’re part of (or know of) a child-focused or education organisation that would love a stall at the carnival, please contact Oriini at [email protected].
Bring the whole whānau for a day full of joy, learning, and connection — we can’t wait to see you there! 💙
Mā te wā 👋
