Akarua Arrowntown Autumn Festival

The Akarua Arrowtown Autumn Festival is an iconic event for both the community and visitors. Each year people come in droves to take in the stunning scenery and see festival attractions such as the street parade, the Arrow Miners Band play on the Old Red truck and the Buckingham Belles Can Can at the lunchtime entertainment. Many long held festival traditions like the Art Exhibition, the Grand Variety Concert, the Vintage Cars, the Shotover Country Music Concert and the Arrowtown Entertainers Musical remain very popular today and each year new events are added to the programme mix to keep it fresh and interesting.
