Music at The Rotunda 1pm Sunday 18 February 2024

Julie from Springfield - Tihiotonga

Music at the Rotunda in the beautiful setting of Rotorua’s Government Gardens, is back thanks to some funding from the Rotorua Trust and the newly formed, Music Rotorua Charitable Trust!

Enjoy a fabulously relaxed afternoon at the Band Rotunda being entertained by two performances each sunny Sunday afternoon from 18 February to 31 March.

Don’t forget to bring your picnic, rug or chair to make your afternoon more enjoyable but, don’t bring your wine or other favourite alcoholic beverage as there is an alcohol ban in the area.

Travel by bike – Rotorua Lakes Council have promised bike parking to make your day easier!

Our artists this Sunday 18 February are:
1pm Jack Grace
Of “8 Scott Avenue – The Musical” fame, need I say more. A born entertainer who gave up rugby for music. Many of those musical years spent on the stage at Sky City
2pm Jono Breakwell
Professional musician, you may have caught recently playing and singing at The Night Market, Secret Spot or Eat Streat

If you would like to make a donation to help pay for this year's series of concerts, we will be very grateful. You can make a donation events.humanitix.com...
