If you haven't heard about the festival yet - it is an annual event that happens in Greytown every July.
Greytown will be lit with beautiful light displays and Night Markets; there is a fabulous event program planned; and the retailers, cafes and restaurants are going to town to make it an extra special month.
There will be outdoor dining at Truck Stop which will have three different food trucks on offer each night, live music, and of course, some outdoor heaters to huddle around.
Come for the day, come for a few. We’d love to see you here!
There will be something for everyone - the young and the young at heart!
Here are some of the events that we think you might enjoy!
The White Swan will have a pop up Gin and Spice Bar every Friday and Saturday in July, 5pm - 8pm.
This is the one we are the most excited about! It's the annual Wairarapa Fabric a Brac in Greytown.
Stall holders will have some fabulous vintage and modern fabric at bargain prices for you to pick up and you also have the warm fuzzy feeling of helping someone else clear out their sewing cupboard. All money raised will be donated to Hospice Wairarapa.
There are also some great looking comedy events.
Thursday 7 July - Greg Ellis and Steven Youngblood.
Thursday 14th July - Jeremy Elwood
Thursday 21st July - Andrew Clay
Thursday 28th July - Raybon Kan
