Snow is forecast!
The annual Greytown Festival of Christmas returns with a flurry of excitement this weekend. Remarkably, snow is forecast for this year's mid-winter festival and Greytown is set to be transformed into a winter wonderland for the entire month of July. Sparkly lights and magical projections on the Main Street every evening, snowfall flurries, stargazing, treasure hunts, plus shopping and festive eating & drinking. The jam-packed programme of events, workshops, food, live music and fun can be found here: www.greytownvillage.com....
The first major act of the 2023 festival is the "WBS Big Switch", kicking off from 3pm this Saturday 1 July. Coinciding with the first day of the July School Holidays, the Big Switch is the first reveal to visitors and locals of the festive snow-themed atmosphere, with lighting on for the first time along Greytown's Main St, and a chance to grab a bite to eat from food trucks, browse stores and night markets, get a selfie in the 'snow', and enjoy a spectacular fireworks display at 7pm. Warming up winter - come and join us in Wairarapa.
