The Titahi Bay Boatshed Festival aims to celebrate the diversity of people, atmosphere and beautiful landscape of the bay. On Friday 27^th November from 4pm till 8pm the festival will be based in front of some of the boatsheds on the northern end of the bay.

With the support of a number of the shed owners we will be opening as many sheds as possible to create a festival reminiscent of old time classic Titahi Bay celebrations.  Titahi Bay lacks a community centre so for this afternoon the boatsheds and the beach as a whole will become the Titahi Bay peoples place. For the afternoon and evening the community will have a ‘place/boatshed’ of their own on the beach.

Activities being organised include a line-up of musicians, a portable community centre serving free fresh fish and chips and Titahi Bay sourdough loaf. There will be classic beach games like human wheelbarrow/egg and spoon /sack race and sandcastle building. We’re hoping to revive the North-end vs south end tug-o-war! Some of the sheds will be occupied by local artists entrepreneurs/writers and local organisations.

The highlight of the evening will be the surf club IRB demonstrations around 6pm.
