Hāwera Winter Fest 2025

Get ready for a magical night under the stars! 🌟 Join us on the eve of the Matariki Public Holiday for Winter Fest, an unforgettable FREE community event brought to you by Bizlink Hāwera.

🔥 Highlights of the evening include:

• Roasting marshmallows over blazing braziers scattered throughout the CBD, under the careful watch of the Normanby & District Lions 🦁.
• Enjoying the sweet reggae sounds of ‘Come on up’, live in the town square 🎶
• Taking part in the vibrant Glow Parade—a chance to show off your creativity with lanterns, costumes, or even a decked-out mobility scooter! 🌈 (Meet outside Te ramanui o ruapūtahanga at 6pm)
Look on the Bizlink Hāwera Facebook page for free lantern-making workshops leading up to the glow parade. 🌟

💡 How YOU can get involved:

• Get creative! Build a glowing creature, craft a lantern, or light up your wardrobe—spot prizes are up for grabs!

• Calling all stallholders, roving entertainers, and costumed tweens and teens: we’d love for you to come along and add to the fun! 🎭
