A Midwinter Affair - Martinborough
This year 85 stalls will line Martinborough Square for the third year of this successful night market, showcasing the best of Wairarapa's food, wine and artisan crafts on Saturday 20 June from 3pm-7pm. With loads of other activities including annual olive grove openings and a gigantic book fair, why not make a weekend of it.
It’s so much more than food and wine but couldn’t resist including the Queenstown Winter Festival. In its 41st year, it’s New Zealand’s biggest celebration of winter. Ten days of street parties, fireworks, local and international acts and plenty of family fun so why not join more than forty thousand people 19 - 28 June to celebrate winter.
