What’s on: November in Otago

This month starts with a bang! Cromwell gets the party started on Friday 2 November at the Heritage Precinct - with live entertainment, a night market and a fireworks finale over Lake Dunstan. On 3 November ‘lively up yourself’ at the South Dunedin street festival with food, music and family fun.

Then grab tickets for the weekend’s Great Kiwi Home & Living Show at the Forsyth Barr Stadium for a taste of all that’s happening in home design – with displays, demos and designer chefs to inspire the taste buds.

Inspire the budding Margaret Mahy in your family at the Ignition Kids Book Day on 3 November at the Dunedin City Library, where they can glean gems of wisdom and autographs from favourite guest authors and illustrators.

For a bit of a laugh get a group together for the Roger Hall play ‘Social Climbers’ at the Regent on 4 November. Who knew six women stranded in a mountain hut could be so hilarious?

Cracking on to 17 and 18 November, the Royal New Zealand Ballet and the Dunedin Symphony Orchestra perform Tchaikovsky’s tale ‘The Nutcracker’, a pre-Christmas treat for fans of the sugar plum fairy.

Cromwell takes the checkered flag for November – with car racing and Christmas shopping. Take in the action of the Highlands Sprint Series – round two - on Sunday 25 November at the Highlands track. Or get into the pre-Christmas spirit at the Cromwell Festive Fête with local wines, beers, food and shopping, at the Cromwell Racecourse – a relaxed day out before the silly season gets cracking.
