Time to party with carrots galore

Expect a big party and big fireworks in the town of the big carrot during the Ohakune Carrot Carnival on August 7.

Big carrots, little carrots, carrot cake and other carrot concoctions will be on offer, with plenty of action and events throughout the day.

The carnival culminates in the Ohakune Mardi Gras in the streets in the evening.
