Pakuranga Carnival and River Festival

This carnival day is suitable for families with younger children. We have several of the local community groups encouraging children to take part in various water based events. There will be different boating, sailing and kayaking activities hosted by local scouts, young mariners and sailing club groups. We have facepainters, pony rides, various bouncy castles, epic slides, ferris wheel, animal cycles and other fun activities for kids. There will be two free magic shows. We have several food and drinks stalls, along with icecreams, candyfloss and popcorn.

The entry is free, but there will be several activities for children where we ask a gold coin donation. There will also be food and drinks for sale from different stalls.
