Victoria Esplanade will come alive with laughter, adventure and family-friendly fun on Sunday.
Explore Esplanade Day will have more than 25 stalls, 20 food vendors and two stages of entertainment, all happening from 10am to 3pm.
Palmerston North City Council head of events Luke McIndoe says the event is a favourite among young families.
“This day of the year is always one of the biggest and most fun events for kids. We get thousands of people coming along for a day of outdoor adventure in the beautiful Victoria Esplanade.”
Stalls, food trucks and activities will be scattered across the Esplanade, and there will also be live music and entertainment for the whole whānau to enjoy, with one stage at the rose gardens and another in the playground area.
