WILLOWRIDGE WANAKAFEST 24-27 October 2013 With the unrivalled backdrop of Mount Aspiring National Park, Willowridge Wanakafest combines food, wine, fashion, extreme sport and entertainment all into one spectacular Labour Weekend event. How many festivals let you compete in a 10-hour endurance mountain bike race before kicking back with a pinot noir, browsing market stalls, and cheering on a pet parade, wheelie bin and cardboard boat races, or taking part in the Polar Plunge? Events include music, art, entertainment, fashion, sport and award-winning Central Otago food and wine. Oh, and entry is free! wanakafest.co.nz u
