Waihi will be lit up this coming Anniversary Weekend with the Lions Art and Street Festival.

Come and revel in a family-friendly showcase of the creative talents of the local community, and enjoy music, art, crafts, and dance. The day also features live demonstrations, community stalls, raffles and free kids’ activities.

The festival kicks off at 9am, with an official opening at 10am featuring comedian, Seven Sharp reporter and local Ben Hurley.

Dance to the drumbeats of Kra KoTo Kra, have a go at line dancing, let your imagination run wild and try construction using recycled materials, have your face painted, listen to some Dixie sounds and create a Zine publication!

As part of the festival, the Lions are hosting the creative talents of local schools at the Waihī Arts Centre and Museum, Kenny St, from 10 am to 4pm on both days.
