Otorohanga "STEAMFEST2017" is coming...
During the weekend of 19-20 August Otorohanga will host New Zealand's first Steam Festival. A steam drawn train will bring several hundred passengers from Auckland to spend a weekend at Otorohanga.
Local residents will have the opportunity to home-host our city visitors.
The railway precinct, tracks and Wahanui Cres. will play host to a myriad of steam and vintage vehicles, food stalls and entertainment onthe main stage.
While our visitors from Auckland travel to various sights around the district, locals will have a variety of steam excursion trips to Te Kuiti and Te Awamutu, and on Saturday evening a dinner trip to Hamilton will see guests served canapes and bubbly enroute to Hamilton Station from where they will be bussed the The Narrows Landing Restaurant for a great evening of food and dancing. The return trip back to Otorohanga will be hosted by WiKi Kiwi and friends.
