Lights On In Brewtown
Upper Hutt's Brewtown is once again the leading light for the Wellington region. This time it is in staging the four day Carnival of Lights over Easter.
Lower Hutt had the family popular lights show for a few years up to 2019 and it has been resurrected with additions to kickstart another annual highlight event at Brewtown.
So apart from world class lighting features ,experiences and attractions there will be entertainers and artists to keep those attending on their feet.
The Lower Hutt light show was a free open event paid by the Hutt City Council. The Brewtown event is partially paid for by the Upper Hutt City Council and partially from some of the funds coming from the entry fees. Most of it is under cover.
Don't be fooled by the publicised $10 an adult entry cost. It is $10 plus two sets of add-on fees if booking online and $15 if paying at the gate.
Brewtown of course offers several large restaurants so there is a choice for food supplanted with the usual meals-on-wheels.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
