Hutt Winter Festival this Saturday!
Get ready to get creative at the funkiest little arts festival in the Hutt, from 15-17 August.
There are loads to see and do including Resene Live-Action Murals.
Watch paintings come to life as professional artists create full-size murals in pop-up locations around Lower Hutt. Want to give it a try? There will be free instruction and everyone is welcome to contribute to the murals. You can arrive at any time during the sessions, but be warned, you’ll be so engrossed and having fun that you should plan to stay for the whole time!
The final versions can be seen at the Hutt Winter Festival, Final Fantastic Festivities on Saturday 17 August.
