He said there’ll be something for everyone, with markets, food trucks and activities for children.
“We’ll have face painting, raffles, mini jeeps, a bouncy castle and a merry-go-round.”
There will be live entertainment during the event with DJ Kepa spinning tracks on the night.
“We are going to have a DJ to create a relaxed atmosphere.”
He said the event will end with a public fireworks display, one of only three in Taranaki this year.
“We’ll cap the night off with a professional fireworks display, put on by Michael Keat from TLL in New Plymouth.”
He said the school will also be selling hāngī on the day.
“This year a new whānau to the school has taken on the responsibility of prepping and cooking this for us. Purchasing of hāngī is by pre-order to ensure we don’t have too much wastage, or worse, not enough.”
He said he is grateful for the hard work of the Kaponga Primary School Whānau group in organising the event.
“They are working hard to gather sponsors and products to make this a successful night. The event will hopefully become a regular event for us. This year may be smallish, but with success, it will grow.”
