Holiday Fun At Summer Gala

 

The Mangawhai Domain is a community owned facility and is home to many sports and social groups. The annual summer gala on January 2 is the main fundraiser the Mangawhai Domain Society Committee organises each year to help raise funds for operation and maintenance, future improvements, and to keep hire fees reasonable. 

There are over 200 stalls booked offering a large variety of crafts, art work, clothing, local produce and much more. 

An area selling a great selection of food and drink to tempt any taste buds will also provide seating.

Increased seats and more shade gazebo’s and sun parasols will create shaded seating areas, especially for family with little kids and seniors.

This gala will again have children’s entertainment. Younger children will have the option of an all-day pass to ride over six different rides. 

Kaipara Dog Club will perform a number of shows throughout the day, inviting children to participate in the last show. 

The helicopter will again be offering rides.

Also attending will be the Mangawhai Volunteer Fire Brigade and Mangawhai St John Ambulance, both offering valuable information that could help save a life one day.

A new improved traffic management plan will be in place. Parking is provided and volunteers are there to manage the traffic. For all parking on the site please make sure you have correct cash ready for handover to avoid traffic jams. Note all traffic exiting the Domain on gala day will turn left and follow the ‘detour’ signs to the Heads. Given the popularity of the event, follow instructions carefully as it can be very busy.
