The Martinbourough fair - over 530+ STALLS!!
Every year since 1977, the Rotary Martinborough Country Fair has attracted an increasing number of visitors who swell the population and provide a cash injection to the South Wairarapa estimated to be worth in excess of $8 million per year in immediate benefit and ongoing business and tourism profile.
The South Wairarapa Rotary Club makes recommendations to the Fair Trust each year for the disbursement of the Fair's profits to causes and projects throughout the Wairarapa.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
