Northlanders began their Matariki celebrations on skates this long weekend at Waipū on Ice.
The event at Celtic Barn sold out for all public time slots on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Promote Waipū teamed up with the Whangārei District Council to offer Northlanders and visitors alike something new and to have fun, without breaking the bank.
On their Facebook page, Love Waipū said the state-of-the-art artificial ice rink event had "broken sales records for the ice-skating company".
Sessions with pupils from Waipū Primary School on Thursday, June 23, and the disabled community on Sunday morning, would be sponsored.
