Kaikohe's new night market

A new night market on Kaikohe’s Marino Court, also known as Library Square, was set up to make the town more self-sufficient in fresh produce and create a fun destination for families one evening a week. The market includes locally-grown fruit and vegetables from Kaikohe’s Kai Co-op, crafts, Cook Islands food, second-hand goods, fundraising stalls selling hangi and chowder, and live music. Now in its fifth week the market is held every Thursday starting at the new time of 5pm and running until 8pm. Photos by Peter de Graaf.
