Ōtāhuhu Food Festival postponed until November due to lockdown

The annual Ōtāhuhu Food Festival, which was supposed to take place on September 25 with around 120 food stalls, has now been postponed until November 6 due to the alert level 4 lockdown, Stuff reports. The 2020 event was cancelled because of roadworks in the town’s mainstreet and the impact of Covid-19. The Ōtāhuhu Business Association co-ordinates the festival and town centre manager Richette Rodger said it normally attracts 10-15,000 people. “In the end we thought it was better to be safe than sorry. So we’ve pushed it out to the first weekend in November.”
