Big Day Out anchored to Sunday

The organisers of the annual Kowhai Festival in Warkworth have decided to again hold the Big Day Out on a Sunday.

The switch from Saturday to Sunday was introduced last year for the 50th Golden Jubilee.

Retiring festival chair Murray Chapman says the move was widely seen as a success by both local businesses and festival visitors.

This year’s Big Day Out will be held on October 18.

If anyone is interested in helping with the festival, they are welcome to attend the annual meeting at the Warkworth RSA committee room on Tuesday March 10, at 7pm.
