Proud supporters of Whangarei Fringe Festival

The Team from Whangarei District Council

That's our logo on the back of the Whangarei Fringe programme! We can't wait for Hatea me Hearties on Sunday 2 October 2022, and the hundreds (hundreds!) of shows to follow.
Here's our involvement this year:
🥁 HATEA ME HEARTIES - we're delighted to host this family-friendly buskers' festival on the Hatea Loop.
🕰🥳 Claphams Clocks Sexagesimal Celebration - come and play on Sunday 2 October and Saturday 8 October!
📚 Multiple events at the Central Library - check out the programme!
🤣 A comedy workshop for neuro-diverse children and adults
👌 NZSL interpretation - selected shows will be interpreted live (details to come)
And we helped print 1500 of the 3000 programmes, pick one up! 🦇⚡🦖

Plus these events that successfully applied for Creative Communities Scheme funding:
📻 Beagle Radio's 'The Imaginarium' installation encourages voyeurism
🎪 Supporting Circus Kumarani for multiple appearances
🎭 'The Drifting Room', view our city like never before
✈ 'Landing in Whangarei', a storytelling project about how people came here
🔑 'Access' by Hamish Annan, a subversive look at masculinity

What's your favourite tomato recipe?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
