Cripes
The winter carnival is on in sunny Petone next weekend (7th July). There will be circus acts, trapeze, and extremely chilling dip in the ole briny during the day.In the evening there will be the best bit of all, the huge fireworks display off the pier. The middle of winter lends itself to a very civilised start time of 7.30pm.
Wrap up warm, bring a thermos of whatever you like to warm you from the inside. Come early, enjoy dinner at one of the local eateries and avoid the traffic, which can get a little sticky approaching kick off.
