For the last few years, a town called Opunake (Oh-poo-nack-ee) has hosted a Yarn Bomb party during this time where the main street is covered in knitting, crocheting and other crafty things! Here are a few things we saw as we drove through :

Yarn Bomb
Every year, Taranaki hosts two concurrent 10-day Garden Festivals, usually starting the last weekend in October, when you can visit lovely gardens and see the spring colors. The original Taranaki Garden Festival was the first but, rumor has it that the entry prices were getting too high, so the Taranaki Fringe Festival came to be.
Now there's a novel idea!! How adorable and what a way to show off local talent!...:)jp
ReplyDeleteGreat idea and everyone can enjoy. Our little town does that for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteFabulous montage Betty - I was down in new Plymouth for the start of the garden festival, but only got to one garden thanks to the weather - but I was with friends and we had a ball anyway!! I did see some signs for the fringe festival.

I would love to see a town which has been yarn bombed. Some creative ladies there!
ReplyDeleteI think it's fabulous how people come up with crazy new ideas. Looks like fun.
ReplyDeleteI've seen the yarn bombing in places up here and in Tauranga where we use to live, it's very quirky
ReplyDeleteThat is a fun idea. Warwick in QLD has a jumper and jazz festival which looks similar.
ReplyDeletegreat and unique idea to have knitting to cover the main street...
ReplyDeletethank you to share your lovely photos.
The Yarn bomb fest is indeed unique and fascinating.
