“Warm up with a nip of mulled wine or hot spiced apple juice and dance the winter blues away with live music by The Flaming Mudcats!
“Gather friends and whanau to enjoy the ambiance of the night in the village’s unique heritage setting.”
The Winter Lights Festival is from 5pm-9pm on Saturday June 15 at Howick Historical Village, 75 Bells Road, Pakuranga.
