Pioneering craft beer brand Little Creatures has spread its cherubic wings to land in Hobsonville Point’s sun-drenched Catalina Bay, where it is opening its first New Zealand brewery. To celebrate the opening, the brewery will host a free-to-the-public launch extravaganza TODAY, Waitangi Day, February 6th, 2019.

A festival of curiosities, the opening will offer fun for the whole family including wizardly face painting and spray tattooists, kids’ games, drag performances, a bouncy castle, mind-bending contortionists and mystical fortune tellers, as well as looping sensation Josh Leys, the phenomenal DJ Alisha and Kiwi legends Sola Rosa Sound System as headliners. Many more surprise performances, prizes, and entertainment will be on offer throughout the day.
