LIGHT UP WANAKA A group of local volunteers came together with the idea to “Light Up Wanaka” for the winter, and their vision has been realised with the first of 12 Night Markets happening last Thursday. These markets, combining the Wanaka Farmers Market and a host of stalls that offer yummy treats including Mulled wine and crafts, added a fun and festive atmosphere to down town. Local retail business have got on board buying up over 60 sets of fairy lights that got turned on on the 4th of July adding to the magical winter wonderland feeling of our resort town. The local Farmers market have moved from their mall location to offer their delicious produce and they have been joined by an array of food, craft, arts and mulled wine stalls.
Live music will be on tap to entertain shoppers with local talents being booked in over the next two months. Every Thursday from 4pm till 7:30pm the markets will run located on Ardmore Street starting out in front of Speights Ale House stretching along the Bullock creek towards Francesca’s. Come hungry and enjoy the live entertainment. For further details please contact the Event Coordinator on info@wanakafest.co.nz
