Fireworks to light up Tomarata

Spectators were dazzled by the professional show last year.

The skies over Tomarata will once again light up with a spectacular fireworks display when Tomarata School hold its community’s annual Guy Fawkes Night fundraiser on Saturday, November 14.

The gates at Tomarata Domain in Pakiri Block Road will open at 5pm to give spectators time to find the perfect spot for picnic chairs and blankets, and to get settled in time for the big display once darkness falls.

There will be a range of food and drink on sale, as well as games and a bouncy castle for the kids, plus live music from covers duo Happy Fish.

Organisers say around 4500 people attended the “professional pyrotechnic show” last year.

This year, funds raised will support a school camp, help complete a bicycle pump track and upgrade other school facilities.

Tickets purchased in advance cost $5 per child, $10 for adults or $30 for a family and are available from Mike Pero Real Estate offices in Wellsford, Warkworth and Mangawhai. They can also be bought on the gate for $10, $20 and $40 respectively.
