Proud supporters of Whangarei Fringe Festival

The Team from Whangarei District Council

That's our logo on the back of the Whangarei Fringe programme! We can't wait for Hatea me Hearties on Sunday 2 October 2022, and the hundreds (hundreds!) of shows to follow.
Here's our involvement this year:
🥁 HATEA ME HEARTIES - we're delighted to host this family-friendly buskers' festival on the Hatea Loop.
🕰🥳 Claphams Clocks Sexagesimal Celebration - come and play on Sunday 2 October and Saturday 8 October!
📚 Multiple events at the Central Library - check out the programme!
🤣 A comedy workshop for neuro-diverse children and adults
👌 NZSL interpretation - selected shows will be interpreted live (details to come)
And we helped print 1500 of the 3000 programmes, pick one up! 🦇⚡🦖

Plus these events that successfully applied for Creative Communities Scheme funding:
📻 Beagle Radio's 'The Imaginarium' installation encourages voyeurism
🎪 Supporting Circus Kumarani for multiple appearances
🎭 'The Drifting Room', view our city like never before
✈ 'Landing in Whangarei', a storytelling project about how people came here
