Blossom Festival is in dire need of some sheds, and is putting the word out for aid. 

Every year floats of all shapes, sizes and colours take pride of place in the grand procession down Alexandra’s Centennial Ave.

For years these have been built in vacant commercial buildings throughout Alexandra, however this year they are proving hard to find.

Festival event manager Martin McPherson says while the lack of available commercial space reflected business positivity with more spaces filled, it was proving a headache for float builders.

 Festival event manager Martin McPherson has put the call out for shed space for this year’s Blossom Festival’s floats. 

“It’s great for the town, but we are hoping there are people out there with spaces they can offer groups and organisations to build floats,” Martin says. 

“This year we celebrate 65 years of the Alexandra Blossom Festival and the grand procession is one of the highlights.  

“We are looking forward to seeing amazing floats make their way down Centennial Ave - as long as we can get them built.”
