Popular Daffodil Festival at risk

Matt Tso Reporter from Community News

Carterton's Daffodil Festival may be the latest Wairarapa event struck from the calendar because of Covid-19.

The seasonal nature of the festival, and the logistic difficulties, means that it cannot be rescheduled.

The show brings up to 10,000 visitors to the district every September, and adds hundreds of thousands of dollars to Wairarapa’s economy.

Nearby sold out shows, including gigs by musician Dave Dobbyn and comedian Ben Hurley, were recently rearranged for later in the year because of the return of restrictions.
