Kapa Haka Super 12s

As part of the Matariki festivities there is going to be a Kapa Haka Super 12s competition down at The Cloud on Saturday. Just like the rugby tournament, there will be 12 teams with 12 members, each allowed to perform for 12 minutes so expect it to be pretty dynamite. The 12 teams will battle it out for a share of $10,000 cash until there is only one group left.


The competition is running from 10 - 5pm and entry is free. And while you're down on Queen's Wharf check out the markets with Maaori arts, crafts and clothing.

Parnell Market Day

This Saturday is Market Day in Parnell so go get your mum something special. Dads - don't forget to get the woman who gave birth to your babies something special. And mamas, get yourself something too! There will be face painting and story telling for the kids, live music and you can get your second coffee free at participating cafes. Sounds like a good day to me! 

Stuff To Do This Weekend

Merry Easter! Or whatever it is where supposed to say at this year. How about, oh my god look at the beautiful weather! Suck it naysayer meteorologists.


There's a free easter egg hunt out in Hobsonville at 10:30 today but it's restricted to the first 100 kids so go, get there now!


Nothing else really seems to be happening today so I recommend lying around in the sun which is exactly what I am going to do today. Might build a pillow fort under the trees for Haeata to keep her busy.


We are however very, very excited for tomorrow because Base FM's annual Shake and Bake is on! This is a free day event from 12 - 6pm for the whole community with live music and DJs - always a good time. This year it's moving down to Silo Park in the Wynyard Quarter which is cool because all the usual Silo markets will be set up and there's a really cool Cut Collective exhibition happening inside the actual silos. One of Haeata's favourite playgrounds is right there in Wynyard Quarter too. Fun for the whole family! Bring a picnic or treat yourself to some of the delicious food on offer in the market. Did I mention there will be a bar?
Dylan at Base has written up a very helpful guide to all the acts playing tomorrow so go check that out if you need some further enticement.


Drop by the Parnell Markets (8am - 12pm) on your way to Shake and Bake for some treats for your picnic and the kids can join in some Easter activities like Easter egg decorating and Easter hat making. 


And then maybe cruise by the Kapiti Icecream shop before you hit the waterfront because they're giving away kids icecreams with every adult icecream purchased! Sounds like you can decorate the ice creams too - fun and delicious!


If you're feeling like something a little different there's a Berba grape harvesting festival happening at the Souljans Wine Estate all weekend long from Saturday - Monday. You can even get in on some grape stomping at 2:15 every day! There will also be live music and free tastings. 


 Also on tomorrow there is an Easter egg hunt on in Takapuna, an Easter carnival at the Longroom in Ponsonby, and an Easter festival in Onehunga.


On Sunday there's a carnival on at Leigh School from 9am - 2pm and in true Leigh style they are really laying it on - something for everyone! Fresh snapper and crayfish, a wine auction, live music, carnival rides including the famous Leigh Fisheries Giant Ice Slide, and the classics like a coconut shy, lucky dips and face painting.


While you're up in that area go check out the Autumn Indie Craft Bazaar in Matakana. As well as Retro, indie, vintage, up-cyclyed, handmade crafts with an edge they'll have 

live music, entertainment, jousting, food and wine specials, train rides, pony rides, animal experience, adventure play grounds and bouncy castles. 

Have a wonderful weekend everyone and as usual, let me know if I've left something out!

Stuff To Do This Weekend

Umm, I think my pick for the weekend is going to have to be the Rice and Beans Festival at Britomart Country Club! It all kicks off at a family-friendly 12pm, entry is free and it will feature a whole lot of Jamaican, Caribbean, Brazilian and Latin-American infused goodness. 
The line up for the afternoon looks amazing - Silva MC, Jah Red Lion, The Turnaround, Latinaotearoa, Sandy Bay DJs, Samba Maracan and Brazilian Divas Dancers.
Then there's the food - Jamaican and Caribbean food thanks to Jamaican Me Hungry, tacos and Mexican food from the Taco Truck and Brazilian food from Jafa Cafe Feijoada. 
Good lord, say no more! It all sounds pretty perfect, except for the fact that just looking at the poster is making me really, really hungry. It goes until midnight so yes, you could fit in both Silo Park and BCC!

Te Tuhi Centre for The Arts in Pakuranga is throwing a carnival on Saturday. There will be a carnivalesque flea market, music and dance, art workshops and exhibitions and food.


The Onehunga Festival is on this Saturday from 11 - 4pm. There will be a water slide, a pirate ship, a rock wall and a whole heap of other free activities. Midnight Youth are playing as well as other performances, including a Cook Islands dance troupe. There will be a market too and food vendors. 


An Emerald City are playing a free gig at Silo Park on Saturday as part of the always cool Silo Sessions. Live music, a bar full of craft beers and local wine, food vendors, market stalls and lots of room for the kids to go crazy. 


There's a Soap Box Derby on this Saturday in Stanmore Bay! As well as the racing there will be a market, food vendors and carnival rides. 


Devonport Primary School has a fair on this weekend. As well as the classics - a photo booth, games zone, log joust, hot rod cars, obstacle course, face painting, bouncy castle, coconut shy, climbing wall and haunted house - there will be a food and wine tent for the adults. And Devonshire tea - so Devonport. 


Alright, I've never been to a Baby Loves Disco and it may be really cheeseball but the idea is pretty cool - DJs, a good bar (Sale St in this case), an open bar and lots of things set up to make it as kid-friendly as possible. Apparently the DJs spin everything from 70s disco (ok, sure) to today's pop. Hmm, suddenly it's starting to sound a little ZMesque. But like I said, I've never been so I should really go check it out sometime. If you're curious it's on this Saturday from 12:30 - 3:30 and that dude from Goodshirt is DJing. Please let me know in the comments if you've been to one of these and what you thought!


I couldn't find any events for Sunday but if you're wanting to get out of the house there's always lots of markets on in the morning and great DJs playing in outdoor bars in the afternoon. Just check out eventfinder for details there. 

Stuff To Do This Weekend

-The Kingsland Festival starts at 2pm on Saturday in the New North Rd car park in Kingsland village.There will be a Kids Zone set up where your little people can get their little faces painted (Haeata's most frequent request is "Princess Doggy Skull". Pretty)  and go cray-cray on the Bouncy Castle.  And if you feel like treating yourself to more than a sausage sizzle the monthly super cool Crafternoon Tea market will be on from 2-7pm in the Trinity Church Hall. There will be street performers and not sure who but bands will be on at the rail plaza main stage from 5-10pm.

-The Unitec Kids Day Out is on Saturday from 11am - 3pm at Henderson Primary School. The traveling Old McDonald's Farm will be there along with all the classics - bouncy castles, face painting and rides.

-After school care organisation skids is also throwing a Kids Day Out (or a "Huge Kids Day Out" just to be clear. I wonder who got in first there?) in Parrs Park, Oratia from 10am - 4pm on Saturday. As well as your classic rides they'll have a bungy trampoline. 

-Tim Finn is playing for free at Three Kings Reserve on Sunday from 2pm - 6pm!

-And of course Saturday is St Patrick's Day! While you might not be doing the pub crawl you were regretting  enjoying 5 years ago there are still fun things you can do with the kids to celebrate the day. There's a parade on Queen St at 11am followed by traditional Irish music and dance at the Viaduct from 12pm. There's also a family-friendly Irish Society Fair Day on from 11am - 5pm at Fowldes Park in Sandringham.

-Lastly Mums and Dads- if you've scored yourself a babysitter this weekend and you're looking for a cheap night out, the really cool documentary King Of Kong is playing at Silo Park at 9pm on Friday night. Or you could go get yourself some culture and see Birds, a really great play that is showing for free (a free play!) at Mangere Arts Centre on Friday night and Saturday night. 

Stuff To Do This Weekend

Alright, Splore is just one week away so I think we're going to be laying pretty low this weekend. Have to find a tent, an extra air bed, plan a Frybread Radio tent circle and make sure I've got everything (i.e outfits!) sorted. 

But that doesn't mean I haven't found you all some fun things to do this weekend! 

For those of you with older kids (or a babysitter!) there are a whole lot of free movies on this weekend. Silo Cinema is showing Land of the Long White Cloud down at Silo Park at 9pm. But if you want something a little earlier, Inception is showing in Takahi Reserve at 7:30pm. On Saturday night the wonderful documentary Young@Heart is showing at Takahi Reserve at 7:30pm. If you've ever wanted to see some senior citizens rock out to the Ramones and The Clash then this one is for you! 

Also on this weekend, George FM's Hit It & Quit It show is going live from Silo Park on Saturday from 12 - 5. Take the kids out dancing!


There is a free guided walk on Waiheke Island on Saturday. It's a short one this weekend so perfect to take the kids on.


Another option for Saturday is to go check out the Beach Football Tournament happening on Mission Bay Beach from 9 - 5pm. Soccer on the beach - must mean summer is still on this year!


And in case none of that works for you Onehunga Library is holding a Year of the Dragon celebration on Saturday from 11am - 1:30pm. There will be activities for kids including lantern making and then at 1:30 there will be a Lion Dance Parade - I love those things!


Or if free food is your kind of thing (I know I appreciate it), here's a little secret - the Auckland Fish Market does tastings (not just fish) from 12- 4 on Saturdays. We turned up too late for the free food last week but had fish & chips and pizza in the courtyard where it was sunny and warm. There's a huge sandpit and a bar so you could easily while away a good couple of hours there.


On Sunday there is a free wine and food festival over at Artisan Wines in Oratia from 12 - 6. The day is being put together mostly by Dalmatian wine makers so expect some cool stuff from that part of the world. Plus $5 glasses of wine! Yum, I wonder if the Hungarian Fried Bread people will be there? 


Paul Ubana-Jones is playing for free at the Nathan Homestead in Manurewa from 4 - 5pm. 
The man has opened for legends like Bob Dylan so go check him out if you haven't before. 


And ahhh, there doesn't seem to be a whole lot more happening on Sunday. You could always go check out a market! There are heaps of those on. 


Whatever you're doing, have a great weekend. The weather looks like it could be a bit dicey but I'm going to stay positive and keep my fingers crossed that they are WRONG. 

2012 Japanese Kids Festival

Two of Haeata's best friends are Japanese and are helping organise this cool event happening in Milford this Saturday. 


From 10am - 2pm this Saturday go down to Milford School to see sushi making demonstrations, Japanese base drums, make your own "mangekyo" kaleidoscope, play traditional Japanese games and get your face painted, nails blinged up or a temporary tattoo. There will also be Japanese food for sale (Haeata's absolute favourite) and a flea market. 


See you there! 


34 Shakespeare Rd, Milford, North Shore

Stuff Happening This Weekend

Before I get started on this weekend's entertainment guide, make sure you tune into KFM this morning! I'm going into the studio to talk to Beats For Breakfast host, AD-One about Tiny Thrills.


I love love love this time of year. So much stuff happening and a whole lot of it for free! 


First off you have free rock climbing today from 3:30pm - 5:30pm.


And then tonight Fantastic Mr Fox is screening for free at Silo Park in the Wynyard Quarter at 9pm. The weather isn't supposed to be too fantastic though so keep an eye on their Facebook page for cancellations.


If you have little foodies the take them to the Auckland Fish Market on Saturday for Tasting Saturday. Sample a whole lot of delicious food then get some of the best fish and chips in the city(or something a bit fancier) and relax in the courtyard while the kids play in the sandpit.


From Saturday and until Sunday, January 29th there is an exhibition of live caterpillars and Monarch Butterflies at the Cornwall Park Information Centre. They'll teach how to encourage the butterflies into your garden and send you home with a free swan plant!


Back at Silo Park on Saturday there's a whole lot of really great live music happening from noon till 5pm.


On Sunday, Latin group The Mambo Kings are playing at Cornwall Park as part of the Summer Music Concert Series. 


And lastly there's an interesting exhibition showing for free at the Aotea Centre called Emerging Pixels. Walk past a Digital Art Live Screen and see your image projected onto the screen in edited fragments. Cool! 

Fantastic Mr Fox

Hello Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas, a fun New Years, and somewhere amongst all that a bit of a holiday. We had Christmas here at home with a whole lot of family and then went up to a friend's place in Whangarei Heads for a few days over New Years. Haeata's birthday was on Saturday so I had to go into full on party prep mode as soon as we got back from the beach. Think I'm ready for another holiday now thanks very much!


For now I'd just be happy with some sun. If we do get some sun this week then Silo Park in the Wynyard Quarter will be the place to be on Friday night. As part of The Silo Cinema, Fantastic Mr Fox will be showing for free, projected onto one of the giant silos. Night markets open from 5pm and the movie will screen at 9pm. Make sure you check out the Silo facebook page for rain cancellations. 

Stuff To Do This Weekend

Awww, MAN. How amazing is this weather right now?! No doubts about it, I am a summer person and Auckland is a summer city. So, what does the second official weekend of summer have in store for you? 


First off, if your weekend is starting on Friday then head down to Aotea Square to catch the Random Acts series before it's over. Free amazing street theatre till Sunday!


Also happening right now is the Margaret Mahy themed sandpit down in the Wynyard Quarter. That ends this weekend too so don't miss out.


If you've got older kids the New Zealand/New York film "Love Story" is playing outside in Silo Park in the Wynyard Quarter on Friday night at 9pm. Also free!


My pick for the weekend is happening at the Wynyard Quarter (they are really cranking out the goodness this weekend!) on Saturday from 12pm - 5pm : The Turnaround! Take your kids down and have a bit of a dance. If you've got a babysitter this weekend this could be your warm up. If not then this is your chance to shake your groove thing and show those tikes how it's done.


Santa will be at The Department Store on Saturday. Go visit and you get a free polaroid with the old guy!


Now, I know Christmas In The Park is on this weekend but honestly, the Christmas tradition I'm looking more forward to is a visit to Santa's Enchanted Forest in Smith & Caughey's, followed by dinner at the Ponsonby Food Court (Haeata recommends either the Marinara Pizza or the Pad Thai with prawns. I get regular cravings for the seafood Laksa) and then a stroll down and back up Franklin Rd to see all the amazing Christmas Lights. We did exactly this last year and I plan on making it a yearly tradition. 


Another really cool Christmas event is Motat Nights, Christmas Lights at Motat. They have night tram rides, live music, Victorian games, Christmas lights and even mulled wine for sale. Festive! Every weekend from 8pm - 11pm and entry is just a gold coin!


If you haven't started your Christmas shopping yet then go along to the Ponsonby Christmas Market Day from 11am on Saturday. Always heaps of bargains to be found at all the stores (honest!) plus live music all over and free samples of delicious food. One of my favourites.


If you survive all that then on Sunday evening is the yearly Christmas event, Glow - basically carols by glowstick - at the Vector Arena. It's supposed to be pretty amazing and only costs $5.
Go on, go get a little festive.  


Now, if you think you might be able to wrangle a babysitter for Saturday night, do it. Base FM's Xmas Party is on at The Kings Arms and if ever there was a night worth bribing someone else to sit at home and watch TV then this is it. Such a great list of DJs and bands lined up for the night. We all deserve a night off at this time of year so see you there! 


And definitely see you at the Wynyard Quarter on Saturday. Yay summer!

Stuff To Do This Weekend

Umm yeah, a few things to do this weekend!


First off, sigh....Christmas Shopping. Might as well make it fun and support your local industries! There are a whole lot of craft markets on at this time of year and I've written up a list of all the ones happening this weekend. You're welcome!


Now, this next one I am very excited for ... Little Bushman are playing for free at the Wynyard Quarter on Saturday! Don't miss them, they are amazing live. 


While you're down there you can go check out the Margaret Mahy themed sandpit also at the Wynyard Quarter. Kids can dig up illustrated treasures and on Saturday there will be spot prizes. 


If you've got older kids you should also get down there on Friday night for the first of the Silo Sessions free outdoor movies. This weekend, Sione's Wedding is screening up on one of the silos at 9pm. There will also be stalls and street food on offer. 


Saturday is Love Your Mountain Day at Maungawhau/Mt Eden. Lots of free things organised for kids and a good chance to explore the maunga without any cars in the way. 


The Tamashii Drumming group are performing for free at the Auckland Art Gallery on Saturday. If you haven't taken your kids there yet, do it this weekend. It's surprisingly kid-friendly and a really beautiful space. 


The Teddy Bear's Picnic is on at Western Springs on Sunday from 11 - 4. It's a free event with lots of entertainment and activities planned. 


And if you feel like getting right out of the city this weekend, Outer Base is on at the Leigh Sawmill this Sunday at 3pm. It's totally free, it's totally kid-friendly and a good time. DJs, beats and a really nice vibe. 

Markets and Fairs on this weekend

Christmas shopping in malls sucks. Fluro lights, incessant Christmas carols, pushy people, foodcourts, everything's the same and it's all generally pretty overpriced. 


If you want to find your friends and family something really unique and affordable without needing a Pump bottle of vodka to motivate you (hey there Santa's little helper) then go visit a local market! There are so many of them on this weekend and all over Auckland so you have no excuse. Some of the markets I've listed below are just this weekend, some are weekly and some of them are even indoors so check out the links.

These plates are so very definitely on my wish list. Honest I've been good Santa! Also - I may need CAKE tattooed on my knuckles. What would you get on the other hand? DIET? Haha, kidding! It would definitely have to be BEER. Or WINE. What! It's not my fault tea isn't a four letter word.

Grey Lynn Park Festival

It's that time of year whanau! The Grey Lynn Park Festival is always one of my highlights for the year. Especially at this time of year when you're just hanging out for summer to hurry up and be here already. It's that little something to just keep you going until all the summer good times get started for real.

Base FM DJs will be providing music all day by the skate ramp staring at 10am. I just heard yesterday that a certain international DJ has possibly been added to the line up but it's not official yet so watch this space for updates!*


There will be more music on the main stage with Che Fu at 4pm followed by Unity Pacific.


And of course there will be the amazing markets, delicious food and lots of other things to keep you, the kids and everyone else entertained.


If you see us there definitely come up and say hi!


*My lovely boss Jazz just posted it on her facebook wall so I'm gonna go ahead and count that as permission ... Onra is going to be playing! 

Things to do this weekend

Hey-yo everybody, this is going to be a real brief simple links to posts because I'm up at my marae in Waitangi with no internet connection (actually hurriedly writing this on Thursday while I wait for my ride!).


Hope you all have a fantastic weekend, Sunday is supposed to be beautiful!


Lots of school galas on this weekend so go support your local primary school


Art In The Dark is on in Ponsonby's Western Park this Friday and Saturday night! Definite highlight for the weekend. 


Do you live on the North Shore? Get a free pass to MOTAT! 

The annual Harbour Crossing is on Sunday so take the kids down to the lovely Wynyard Quarter and you can all have a good laugh while you watch hundreds of insane people stumbling out of the sea.


If the weather doesn't turn out so nice then one of our favourites is the Auckland Art Gallery. Haeata will sit in front of the Len Lye sculpture for ages and hang out in the trippy mirror room. They also have a great learning centre where kids (and adults) can draw in cool stencils and look through kaleidoscopes. And it's all free!

Friday is the last day of the Pacific Living Arts Festival today, heaps of free things happening so go check it out!




And hey, big old creepy Santa is going up on Saturday!
Be on Queen St at 6am Saturday morning if you want to see the installation in action. It's just not Christmas without this dude. I miss the creepy beckoning finger though.

School Galas

I've previously talked about my love of church galas, well I love school galas just as much. 
Paper cups of coconut ice, white elephant stalls, random stuff for sale like painted rock people ... LOVE IT. And it's a great way to support your local school! 


School Gala Season is officially open and so here are a few happening this weekend, hopefully one of these is in your hood. 


Hauraki Primary School is holding a twilight fair on Friday afternoon from 4 - 8pm
St Francis School in Point Chev is having their gala on Saturday from 11 - 3
The Birkenhead Primary School Fair is on Sunday from 11 - 3 
And if you're out west, the Titirangi School Gala is on this Saturday, 12 - 4pm

Another gala classic - Toffee Apples! 

Parnell Festival of Roses

Who doesn't love a good rose? They look amazing and the smell, oh my god the smell. Just another one of those things that reminds me that summer is on the way. 


The Parnell Festival of Roses is on Saturday and Sunday this weekend from 12 - 6 each day, there will be lots of good food, craft stalls and live music. The Nairobi Trio is playing on Saturday but for a full line up of bands and performances check out this link. 

Ponsonby Party tomorrow!

I think this is basically the Ponsonby Market Day but it's been renamed because this weekend is going to be one big party and because really, Ponsonby Market Day is a party.


Live music (Easy, Queen City Big Band and more) on every corner, cultural performers (Te Puna Iano this weekend. The Tahitian troupe last month were amazing), pretty awesome sale tables outside the shops and FOOD. Seriously, just walk up and down Ponsonby Rd eating samples from outside all the eateries. So much deliciousness. 


Starts tomorrow at 11am. See you there!

Grey Lynn Farmers' Market - Kids Trading Table

When I was a kid I would draw crazy little pictures of ladies with umbrellas and try to sell them to people outside my house. Sometimes I would just cut pictures out of magazines and glue them onto paper. Visionary shit. I never made that much anything but point is, I'm all about kids getting their hustle on.

This Sunday your kids can get their own hustle on at a one off trading table set up at the Grey Lynn Farmers' Market. They can sell or trade old clothes and toys but they could also sell or trade plants, painted rocks or crazy little pictures of ladies with umbrellas.

And hold the phone people because they're having a Sand Saucer making competition at the market! There will be a kids' category and (I'm sincerely really excited about this) an adults' category! I'm tempted to get down there and bust out the skills that earned me first place for my sand saucer at the 1986 Taneatua Primary School Calf Club Day.

Titirangi Mums craft market

The Titirangi Mums' Craft Market is on this Saturday from 10 - 2 in the Kaurilands Primary School Hall. Check out their Facebook page to see what kind of stuff they have on offer.

Coatesville Market

This Sunday head a tiny bit north for the first Coatesville Market this year since Winter ended (damn that feels good to type/say/sing loudly and obnoxiously). Good chance to check out Fernielea Cafe ... I keep hearing lots of good things about it and I'm super curious. Check out that Kid's Menu. It has...gasp... real food on it.
