The Fulton Hogan Mardi Gras are always a festival highlight!

Join us for a fun family night out with loads to keep you entertained!

Watch the action from the Round the Clock Race as competitors of all ages battle it through the river and up the hill.

Plus meet the 2024 Blossom Festival princesses!

Check out drive smooth tunes of musician Paul Foulds while trying out the food stall and entertainment - we’ve got street performers and so much more!

At 6pm the Freestyle NZ FMX display is set to thrill with incredible tricks that will make your heart race!

We wrap up the Fulton Hogan Mardi Gras with a spectacular fireworks display around 8PM (wind and weather dependant) - a great way to hail in the Blossom Festival weekend!

PLEASE NOTE: In the event of cancellation on the Friday night, the fireworks will be held at 7.15pm on Saturday, September 28.

Did we mention the event is free?

Something pretty special is also taking shape on Rivers St ahead of the Fulton Hogan Mardi Gras tonight!
