Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

What a wonderful weekend to be living in east Auckland.
The Cultural Food Festival is on in the Village this Saturday, with the Auckland Brit and Euro Classic Car Show on Sunday at Lloyd Elsmore Park in Pakuranga.
Picton Street will be closed on Saturday for our Cultural Food Festival event.
We’ve invited dragon and lion dancers, belly dancers, bagpipers, and Chinese drummers into the Village.
We’re really excited to be bringing you fire dancers for the first time this year and they’re due to perform at 11am.
We have a dedicated family area set aside in Fencible Walk with child-friendly eateries and old-fashioned games.
The highlight has always been the Great Goblet race at 12pm down the hill through the crowds.
Let’s see if Tyler from Urban in East can retain his crown of two years – he’s up for some stiff competition from new business entrants.

Put in your diary the East FM Vinyl Sale, on Saturday, March 8, from 8.30am-2.30pm in the War Memorial Building.
Also, did you know that Unichem and Life Pharmacy offer a free app?
You can order repeat prescriptions, receive reminders for when to take medications, and manage the medications of others you care for.
We can’t wait to let you know who’s moving into what was the Vanilla premises at 65 Picton Street.
The fit-out is progressing well and we’ll have an exciting announcement for you shortly.
We’ve also been advised the premises at 60 Picton Street (formerly Tremor Audio) has been leased – more detail to follow.
We’re aware of prime premises on Picton Street, approximately 100 square metres, coming available in the coming months.
