Music, wine, sun at Ocean and Orchard Fest
Saturday’s Ocean and Orchard Festival on Kerikeri Domain featured dozens of stalls offering Northland food and wine, young Rotorua band Strangely Arousing as the headline act, lemon-sucking and oyster-shucking contests, and a wearable arts contest where the supreme award went to 9-year-old Jack Kinghan for an extraordinary costume made from recycled venetian blinds. Many festival-goers came up from Whangarei and made a weekend of it; one particularly enthusiastic group travels from Hamilton every year. Photos by Peter de Graaf.
