Paekakariki Fair 2009

Paekakariki's biggest annual event is back for the fourth year. Featuring a fantastic musical line-up including Rosy Tin Teacaddy, Jess Chambers, Shane Hurricane Wills and the ever delightful Fat Teddies (more TBA). Also quality arts and crafts stalls (Christmas shopping:-), ethnic food, bbq, hangi, gelato, Havana coffee, tearooms, plants, pre-loved goodies, books, rides, Harry The Clown, auction, raffle, and last but not least, the world-famous-in-New-Zealand charm of what writer Tim Jones described as "a rather beautiful small town nestled in the sandhills by the sea".

This event is a Paekakariki School fundraiser where the emphasis is on fun. Picnic blanket and handheld umbrella recommended. Free sunblock.

Paekakariki's wee main street has an excellent cafe, restaurant, pub and deli plus a grocery store, greengrocer, Alan Wehipeihana's amazing art gallery, and arts and crafts shops. The Beach Store on the Parade is home to cool design stuff, Rush Monroe icecream and coffee to go. And if you've got time after all that, Tim at Pacific Tattoo can ink you!
