Enjoy a night concert with us at the Whangamata Summer Festival - free!

Sponsored by the Whangamata Community Board from 8pm, join us to welcome Shed 23.

The local band from Whangamata dubbed 'a must see', Shed 23 have just completed recording their first studio album and are chuffed to have the opportunity to play to the home crowd. An eclectic mix covering a variety of styles, Shed 23 is best described as uniquely Coromandel with a sound that will please festival goers of all ages and tastes.

The Whangamata Summer Festival is run by a not for profit community group who fundraise all year round, in order to provide a focus for youth, young families, locals, holiday makers and the elderly, by staging night time concerts, volleyball competitions, skate competitions, a kids holiday programme and a huge craft market day. This evening's music is the 2nd night of a five night programme with a range of musical genres - something for everyone's taste!

The Festival boasts a huge Craft Market Day on December 28th 9am - 9pm in Williamson Reserve, on all three fields. That same night for the tweenies we host the Katy Perry Tribute Show - The first night on our programme! This will be a ticketed event at the Whangamata Area School Hall. Following this join us for free concerts nightly from December 29th 2011. The bands will be on stage at Williamson Park from 8pm.

Please note: A public liquor ban will be enforced throughout the holiday period.

Entertainment for the Whangamata Summer Festival week is proudly brought to you by sponsors: NZCT, the Lion Foundation, Southern Trust, The Whangamata Community Board, Trust Waikato, Sky City Hamilton Trust, plus more rolling in!
