As well as the inflatable attractions there were ride-ons for older children, and a number of a sensory activities for younger participants.

The Kaiapoi Promotion Association works with community groups, residents, sports groups, schools and businesses to build community well-being.

Promoting Kaiapoi and the wider Kaiapoi area as a place to visit, live, work and to help retain Kaiapoi’s heritage and its natural history.
