Kids!
This is a family friendly festival with a childrens area and entertainment provided to allow parents to sit back and enjoy the music and taste some of the exceptional food and beverages! So we have a magician, fairies and bouncy castles. Kids under 5 are free.
Right beside the festival we have Williams Rd with great shopping, bars and cafes. Limited number of tickets will be available - Tickets on sale 1st August 2012.
The Bay of Islands is a top holiday destination that has retained it’s small friendly feel - there is plenty to do around the town whether it be to take a boat trip to see the dolphins, have a swim, kayak, visit Waitangi or head into the bush. Or you can just sit in one of the many cafes and watch the world go by!
