The Spring Fling, Central Hawke’s Bay, September & October

The second annual Spring Fling is a series of 20 standout events that capture the essence of springtime in Central Hawke’s Bay.

Kicking off with the iconic ‘Central Hawke’s Bay, The Festival’ – a four-day hill top celebration of art, markets, food and wine – to events giving people the chance to experience
history, homesteads, cycling, music, adventure, hunting, wine and dining. The Spring Fling is a chance to experience the best Central Hawke’s Bay has to offer this Spring.

Hawke’s Bay Tourism and Central Hawke’s Bay Promotions have created ‘The Spring Fling’ specifically to invite visitors into the district and showcase the best of Central Hawke’s Bay.

Last year’s inaugural event saw 13 offerings, and the growth in event numbers this year to 20 is a reflection of the dedication local operators have to promoting the district as a great
option for visitors.

Central Hawke’s Bay Tourism Co-ordinator Trudy Hales is thrilled with how The Spring Fling event program has come together; ‘It’s largely down to our fantastic operators and some
dedicated locals keen to show off what’s on offer for visitors and locals in Central Hawke’s Bay.”

“The usual offerings are a key part of the calendar, with events like ‘Central Hawke’s Bay, The Festival’ and Taniwha Daffodils, but it’s also hugely encouraging to see the likes of the
Destination Porangahau group come together and create four exciting and diverse events in the program.”

“There is so much to see and do and it’s great to not only invite visitors into the District but to also remind ourselves what we have in our own backyard. There truly is something
for everyone with events designed specifically for kids, to competent horse riders, to garden and history enthusiasts, to those looking for a great family outing and more.”

“It’s a wonderful platform to rediscover places we’ve been to year in, year out and to literally see them in a new light with the likes of the two Taniwha Daffodil events, Dawn & Dusk
in the Daffodils”.

Hawke’s Bay Tourism General Manager, Annie Dundas said “Spring in Central Hawke’s Bay is absolutely magical, and the Spring Fling is the perfect opportunity to really showcase this
part of our region. It’s fantastic seeing all the operators and locals come together to create this celebration”.

Tickets go on sale for The Spring Fling on Friday August 5th at 9am and a full list of events can be found at www.thespringfling.co.nz
