Coast Events


The West Coast – Events Capital of NZ!

There were so many stunning events taking place on the Coast over Labour Weekend that one would have to give serious thought to branding this magic strip of land the ‘Events Capital of New Zealand’!  Such were the number of visitors, locals  and participants who turned out, that there was not a spare bed to be found anywhere.

On the following pages we bring you a pictorial round-up of these events. Through these videos and pics you will see the community in action, relive some history and take in some breathless action!
