After the fantastic response from the 2012 Vintage Weekend, Wanganui is once again hosting it on Wellington Anniversary Weekend Saturday 19-Monday 21 January 2013.
Wanganui comes alive with the Rivercity Caboodle on Saturday featuring entertainment and a street festival. On Sunday there will be seriously cool music with Groove by the Riverside, and on Monday the SoapBox Derby with kids racing. There's also the Vintage Car Rally, always hugely popular with participants and vintage car enthusiasts.
Like us on Facebook and we will keep you up to date with what bands are playing, entertainment, accommodation, and useful links to other websites.
A place to stay on the Whanganui River where life is at a slower place, hand-built cottages with wood-fires and lots of books for time spent relaxing with family and friends.
As you cycle the Whanganui River Road or canoe the Whanganui River you will be breathing our fresh air and absorbing the wairua or spirit of life in our valley.
