Call for Endless Summer Festival events
Call for Endless Summer Festival events
Anyone planning events that will add to the colour, culture, fun and festivities of Whangarei’s Endless Summer Festival 2013 are invited to get their plans into the organisers by 2 November.
“Every year the Endless
Summer festival promises three months of memorable
activities and entertainment to suit people of all ages and
interests and budgets,” says WDC Marketing and Events
Manager Rachel O’Gorman.
“This year we had more than 40 activities gathered together under the banner of the Festival, including sports events, evening markets, needlework exhibitions, surf contests, bike races, garden trails, outdoor sculpture exhibitions, artisans’ fairs, ballet, cinema under the stars and waka ama. The list wasn’t quite endless but it was pretty long!
“One of the highlights of this event is that it pulls together a really wide range of activities in one programme and demonstrates really clearly what an interesting and active community Whangarei has.
“For event organisers the
benefit of contacting us is that every event gets marketed
as part of the festival, without having to pay extra. The
events go into our festival programme, a glossy booklet that
is widely distributed through community and tourism outlets
in Whangarei.
“We also put all the events on the
Venues and Events website, Council’s website, and
advertise them week by week in Council News in the Leader
and on air via MoreFM.
This adds value to any
individual promotions that event organisers arrange
themselves. Rachel says the great sense of community spirit
that attending these events generates is enormously
valuable.
“Whangarei is a really healthy, vibrant
unique place. It’s really starting to come into its own,
and the Endless Summer will offer a great range of
activities designed to get people out and about and making
the most of it.”
