Concert in the Park 2024
Tawa’s Concert in the Park is back for a second season. After a very successful concert in 2023, despite the dismal weather, Tawa Rotary will again be staging a free, family-friendly, outdoor concert at Grasslees Reserve mid-February.
The concert will be headlined by the Royal New Zealand Airforce’s extremely popular Jive Bombers dance band. This team of go-getters will serve up a platter of musical gems ranging from Amy Winehouse and Guns ‘n’ Roses to Earth Wind and Fire and Bruno Mars. This will be a great opportunity to hear some of Wellington’s finest musicians playing tunes you’ve definitely heard before with equal parts pizazz and decorum.
Supporting acts will include Tawa College’s Blue Notes chamber choir. In its 10 years, it has qualified for the Big Sing National Finale nine times and received a Gold award three of those times, cementing its place as one of the top secondary school choirs in the country.
Concert-goers will also be welcomed by the Tawa Learners’ Band. The band is made up of players of brass, woodwind, and percussion instruments. Some of members are learners, some have returned to music, some have retired from more formal bands and others like the relaxed atmosphere of playing music after a long week at work.
Concert co-ordinator, Elizabeth Sutton, says concert-goers are welcome to bring rugs or chairs and a picnic afternoon tea or they can buy a sausage or two from the sausage sizzle.
The concert will run for three hours from 3pm on Sunday 18 February, Grasslees Reserve, Tawa.

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
