Mayor Nigel Bowen's message

 

Ngā mihi o te wa (Seasons greetings) 

 

It is with immense pleasure that I extend a warm welcome to everyone attending the 2024/2025 Caroline Bay Carnival. This year's festivities kick off on Boxing Day and run through to Sunday, January 12th, offering the quintessential summer experience full of delight for both locals and visitors. 

 

Our dedicated Caroline Bay Association and its volunteers have devoted countless hours to bring you weeks of entertainment, including concerts, amusement rides, various contests, and the spectacular New Year’s Eve fireworks. The Carnival carries a special place in my memories. 

 

I'd like to convey a heartfelt thanks to all the incredible volunteers whose dedication during the holiday period ensures the event's success. The carnival promises an array of activities suitable for everyone amidst an energetic atmosphere. Take this time to create joyful memories, unwind with loved ones, soak up the sunshine, and I wish you all a fantastic 2025. 

 

Meri Kirihimete. Ngā mihi o te tau hou (Merry Christmas, Happy New Year) 

 

Mayor Nigel Bowen
