Music at the Rotunda 3 March
Music at the Rotunda in the beautiful setting of Rotorua’s Government Gardens, is back thanks to some funding from the Rotorua Trust and the newly formed, Music Rotorua Charitable Trust!
Enjoy a fabulously relaxed afternoon at the Band Rotunda being entertained by two performances each sunny Sunday afternoon from 18 February to 31 March.
Don’t forget to bring your picnic, rug or chair to make your afternoon more enjoyable but, don’t bring your wine or other favourite alcoholic beverage as there is an alcohol ban in the area.
Travel by bike – Rotorua Lakes Council have promised bike parking to make your day easier!
Our artists this Sunday 3 March are:
1pm Now N Then
‘A group who come together for events such as ‘Music at the Rotunda’, ‘Art in the Park’ and other community events.
“The music we play is mainly up-beat, we find people in the audience enjoy dancing to the music.”
The music is from both now and back then, with the majority of music from the 60s, 70s and onward.
We come together to play music every now and then.
We practice every now and then!

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
