La Fiesta: New Zealand’s Best Women’s Fest! is an annual Whanganui festival for all women, established by Carla Donson from Whanganui Women’s Network, now in its 14th year. This year will be the third year Sport Whanganui has been involved in the one-of-a-kind festival, and this year, there are a huge range of events on offer.
There are more than 120 activities and events available during the month-long festival, with something for everyone – from archery to meditation, poetry through to yoga and so much more. This year, Sport Whanganui partnered with several fantastic organisations to offer nine activities, from the opportunity to learn to row to a Women in Non-Profit Governance workshop.
Sport Whanganui has a strong focus on women and girls, and therefore finds it extremely valuable to be involved in a festival that offers women and girls the opportunity to take part in and try a variety of activities in a safe and welcoming space. It is also fantastic to work with other like-minded organisations to collectively bring such a wide range of activities to our community.
There’s plenty of time and plenty of activities to take part in! Head to lafiestanz.com to find out what’s on offer.
