2022 Akarua Arrowtown Autumn Festival Update
It is with heavy hearts that we inform you the 2022 Akarua Arrowtown Autumn Festival is cancelled due to the ongoing threat of COVID and the risk and uncertainty it poses for our community.
We are truly gutted by this decision and realise that many people will have already booked their travel and accommodation. We feel for our loyal sponsors, talented performers, contractors, stall holders, awesome volunteers and local businesses who were all looking forward to being a part of our festive 5-day event.
However, the safety of our amazing community must come first and so now we will shift our focus to 2023 (20-25th April, lock it in) and ensure we put on a festival to make you all proud.
Thank you to everyone involved for supporting us and for your patience and understanding around this difficult decision.
