Follow the sound of carols and music tomorrow night to Raumanga, where the once-famous Christmas in the Valley event is back after a four-year hiatus.
Briarley Birch, of Te Ora Hou, said staff at multi-agency base The Pulse hoped to once again make the evening a regular fixture on Whangarei's events calendar.
She was thrilled at the calibre of performers the free event had attracted, which included Troy Kingi, Take 2, jazz musician Robbie Mulligan, Empire Dance Studio performers and even a band comprising Northland DHB staff members. .
"As soon as we said this is the kaupapa, they came on board," Ms Birch said. "Anyone is invited, but we'd love to have lots of people from on our doorstep in this community."
She said the space outside The Pulse on Raumanga Valley Rd was perfect for music events.
