New seaside extravaganza coming soon

New seaside extravaganza coming soon

An exciting, free, family event called Whopper Chopper will be held on Saturday, 8 November from noon at New Brighton beach.

Launched in Wellington five years ago as a celebration of our beautiful coastlines and creative talents, the event is coming south to Christchurch. Seen by the City Council’s Burwood/Pegasus Community Board as a great opportunity, “the Whopper Chopper Seaside Extravaganza is an exciting boost to New Brighton and will provide for a carnival experience,” says Don Rowlands, Community Board Chairman.

Themed as an International Pirates Convention, the event includes classic Kiwi school sports day games with entertainment from homegrown bands and DJs as well as outdoor film screenings in association with the NZ film Archive and NZ film Commission.

The Whopper Chopper KIDZONE will offer face painting, kite, circus, and painting workshops.

Proudly supported by the Burwood/Pegasus Community Board, Whopper Chopper is set to create a carnival atmosphere and activities aimed at entertaining the whole family.
