| Roadside Attractions - FREE |
Roadside Attractions is exactly what it says and is all encompassing. We have used our imagination to bring you something a little different on each and every lunch hour throughout the festive season. Playing right in the centre of town outside the Great Lake Centre on Tongariro St. It's the perfect spot to grab a takeout coffee and lunch from one of the many Cafes, wander down Horomatangi St, over the road and relax. Roadside attractions usually run week days from mid December to mid January for an hour and kick off around midday. |

The Sunday Series runs Sunday evenings throughout the month of January and showcases a wide variety of Genre. Settle into a summer's evening in the spectacular Riverside Park Unison Amphitheatre, get that picnic sorted and come join us on the grass. We have lifted the liquor ban because wine goes with a picnic right? The music runs from 6pm through to 8pm so plenty of time to get off the Lake, grab that picnic and relax with us.
In 2011 we are adding a little extra, another reason to come on down to the park. We are showing an outdoor movie at the end of each concert. The genre this year will be classic Kiwi.
Please note the Sunday Series of concerts are the only fixtures that are BYO.
