30 January, 2026
Fun weekend ahead! Katikati is the place to be this weekend with two major annual events taking place in town. The town’s only twilight concert for 2026 is tomorrow night, January 31, at the Haiku Reserve, starring Tony Lewis, the UK’s premier Robbie Williams Tribute act. Gates open 5pm, with the concert to start 6pm.
Then on Sunday, February 1, Katikati A&P Show opens it gates at the Uretara Domain at 9am. The show will offer oodles of country fun and flair young and old! There’s a huge line-up of free attractions for children, including a puppet show, a kids’ lolly scramble, face painting, donkey rides, a
vertical bungy, a rock climbing wall, an Animal Magic show with sheep by local animal trainer Bex Tasker, train rides for under-fives and giant wooden games. Plus the usual country-flavoured drawcards of wood chopping, dairy cattle competitions, equestrian events, the Home Industries displays and a Children’s
Scarecrow Competition, plus military and vintage and classic vehicles, tractors, and Katikati wrestling would also appeal. Find out more about both events on page 5. Pictured is Cherie Marshall enjoying country fun at a past Katikati A&P Show. Photo / Merle Cave
