Arena events coming thick and fast
Ballroom dancing and bowls are among the events coming up at Te Rauparaha Arena, as Porirua’s popular facility welcomes back visitors. After a difficult two years due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Porirua Mayor Anita Baker says it’s fantastic to see the Arena booked for a wide array of events.
“I can’t wait to see Matariki and Love Local on again, and what they do for our city, but also welcoming visitors from across the country for what’s bound to be wonderful occasions like the upcoming dance championships,” she says.
The NZ Open One Dance Championships take place on Queen’s Birthday weekend (4–5 June) and showcases a full two days of national and Latin American competitions, with competitors coming from as far as Invercargill and ages ranging from 5 to 85.
Tickets are available from ticketspace.co.nz and sessions run from 9am–5.30pm both days and in the evening, Saturday 7–11pm, and Sunday 7–10pm.
