Get ready to rewind the clock and dress up like it’s 1984… Ohakune’s famous GIANT CARROT turns 40!

-

This year is a bit special, as we are celebrating Ohakune’s famous GIANT CARROT as it turns 40! So get ready to rewind the clock and dress up like it’s 1984!  
Dust off those neon leg warmers, tease up that hair, and break out the shoulder pads, because we’re throwing it back to the most tubular decade ever! Whether you’re rockin’ the punk look, embracing the preppy vibe, or going full-on Madonna with lace and leather, we want to see your raddest ’80s-inspired outfits! Prizes await for the most bodacious ensembles, so don’t hold back! 
Held on Saturday the 1st of June, the Annual Ohakune Carrot Carnival is a huge day out for the whole family with exciting entertainment, a fab range of food, and retail stalls and games. The awesome event runs from 10 am until 4 pm!
Thames Street will be closed to allow safe walking access for all activities. Watch the skill of the Growers Games in the afternoon. Can you beat or challenge the Locals to pack/wrap/stack vegetable produce?
Matt Joe Gow and Kerryn Fields will be the live entertainment: Discover the irresistible charm of this Americana Folk duo who have multiple awards to their names!
