Maui Dolphin Day is back on March 2nd to celebrate our local taonga, Popoto or Maui’s Dolphin. Whaingaroa Environment Centre (WEC) and Xtreme Waste have teamed up again this year to bring you this event featuring the Recycled Raft Race.
For the second year the upcycled “Project Maui Fashion Show” will be featured Contestants can register ahead, and then just show up on the day! They’ll get a pile of good quality rubbish and must create upcycled fashion pieces which will be put to the test on the runway just a couple of hours later!
Raglan businesses have once again been generous, donating all the prizes for the raft race and fashion show.
The event will also include performances from local musicians and schools including Twisted Timber. Fundraisers from local groups will offer sausage sizzles, treats and more. Environmental awareness activities and stalls will give everyone a chance to learn more about their local environment. There will be loads of things to do and lots of prizes and fun!
