Island Bay Festival 2019
Next year, we are doing things a bit different, we’re packing some of our regular events in to one family focused fun weekend. The Ribble st Races, Parade and Variety show will happen on Saturday 9 February, and the Day in the Bay is set for Sunday 10 February.
Plans for the weekend are shaping up nicely, and we are really looking forward to it!
It is also a great opportunity for local organisations and community groups to showcase what they do and what Island Bay is about by getting involved on the weekend holding an activity or information stall, or by hosting an event during the week. If this is something your organisation or group is interested in doing, get in touch with us by email to ibfwebsite@gmail.com, we'd love to hear from you!
Wishing you all a very merry Christmas and looking forward to seeing you at the Island Bay Festival in the New Year!
