Summer celebration at Snells


The team that organised a highly successful community night at the old Warehouse store in Snells Beach in August is back, this time with a festive family picnic to welcome summer.

The Pohutukawa Picnic will take place on the afternoon of Friday, December 15 at the playground reserve at the bottom of Snells Beach Road, starting at 3pm.

It is being organised by Kawau Bay Action Group (KBAG), a team of residents keen to make Snells Beach a fun and vibrant place to live for people of all ages.

The picnic will feature live music from singer Lou Perkins, a sausage sizzle, soft drinks, ice blocks and Mr Whippy, and a certain man in a red suit has been invited as guest of honour.

“We’re having another go – this time, we’re organising a picnic to welcome summer (everybody, cross fingers) and ring in the holidays,” one of the organisers says.

KBAG says it is keen to work closely with the Snells Beach Residents & Ratepayers Association and local people to try to deliver events and activities that the community wants.
