Warming up for family fun day

Plans are well underway for next month’s Festival of Lights, re-named the Gull Family Fun Day, which will be held on Warkworth’s riverfront and in Baxter Street, on Saturday, July 15.

Organiser Murray Chapman says the day will include something very special.

“I’m not at liberty to disclose too much just yet, but it will be a permanent light installation and I am over the moon that Warkworth has been chosen for its display,” he says.

The day will include entertainment, headlined by the Recliner Rockers, from 11am onwards.

As well as live music, there will be food trucks, amusement rides, face painting, the Northwood Developments ice skating rink and much more.

The ITM Parade of Lights will start in the Paper Plus carpark at 6pm.

“We’re inviting people to light up and join the parade,” Chapman says. “The more the merrier.” for most of the day.
