'Events play a crucial role in the city's national profile as a place full of creativity, excitement and opportunity.' They all add a distinct flavour to Whanganui and we know they boost our local businesses,' Sykes said. 'All the events are ones our community looks forward to and attract visitors to our city.

They are Masters Games Whanganui, Artists Open Studios, Cooks Classic, Welcome to Nowhere festival, Whanganui Pride Week, Cemetery Circuit, Three Bridges Marathon, Heritage Month, Vintage Weekend and Hoop Nation. Sykes said the agency would continue its funding of 10 existing events which were again successful in their applications. 'These events make a big difference to our accommodation and hospitality providers as visitor numbers are boosted.' 'For a city growing at the rate Whanganui is, it's important that we have a standard of event offerings to support the expectations of our community and to celebrate what we have to offer here. 'Whanganui & Partners quickly took the opportunity to work with Athletics New Zealand to bring the event here instead,' Sykes said. The games, expected to bring more than 1000 competitors to Whanganui, were originally to be hosted in Palmerston North but a music event was later confirmed for the same weekend. The annual event celebrates the Māori New Year and the star Puanga, which signals the new year in Whanganui.įor the first time since 2009, in January Whanganui will host the Colgate Games for young athletes, with the help of funding from Whanganui and Partners. Puanga Kai Night is an evening of Māori food and entertainment in August. In 2021, Lanterns on the Awa attracted more than 5000 people.

Whanganui & Partners will also fund the popular Lanterns on the Awa and Puanga Kai Night events for the first time. 'It's more than just going to an exhibition and leaving, it's a way to be more involved with the art and discuss it in a planned evening,' Lazelle said.Įvent fund manager Jonathan Sykes said Whanganui & Partners believed both events would be enthusiastically received as they had a good deal of thought and planning behind them. Monumental co-founder Murray Lazelle said the memorial building was iconic to Whanganui, and the events would give the public the opportunity to come together over art, music and discussion of whatever event was on. The first Monumental event is planned for November and will combine art exhibitions, screenings, talks and music with local, national and international content at the Whanganui War Memorial Centre. The second new event is 'Monumental', a recurring art event modelled on the 'Open Late' nights held at City Gallery Wellington, which secured just over $10,000 in funding.
