2011 French Festival @ Akaroa

28 - 30 Oct 2011

French festival was held from 28th to 30th in Akaroa town. It was my first ever festival experienced in New Zealand. My friends (Hikari, Ivan and Daisy) came here for the festival and also paid me a visit. On Friday night, we went to the town. The festival started with an ice carving by a man who carved an Iffel Towel. The rest of the night was entertained by the army band playing on stage and the audience dancing on the street. It wasn't as happening as I expected unfortunately. New Zealand is always quiet.....


Akaroa used to be quiet but on this Saturday, it was full of visitors coming for the festival.
There were food stalls selling varities of food including snack, sandwiches, meat and dessert. At there, my friend and I bought a vintage T-shirt which costed NZD19.



The day was scheduled with different kinds of activities. There were speech, haka and performances throughtout the entire day.
