Santa Claus comes to town
Whangarei’s annual Christmas Festival was a cracker of an event. The free event attracted thousands of people who spread out across the grass field at Toll Stadium on Saturday to enjoy the festive season entertainment in perfect weather. There were local performances from Kawiti Waetford, Otium, Taylah Barker, Natalie Wilson, Luke and Amberly’s duo Cavalcade, and the Whangarei Primary School choir. Santa also made an appearance. Northern Advocate photographer Tania Whyte captured the family event.
