NOVEMBER 23 - DECEMBER 29
The Kiwi Art Trail is coming to Napier!
Discover 20 stunning kiwi sculptures on the cycle trails along Marine Parade and Ahuriri, each transformed by talented New Zealand artists - including two by Hawke’s Bay’s own Mickey Espino and Isobel Loughran!
The Kiwi Art Trail runs 23 November – 29 December and is a partnership between Save the Kiwi, Gallagher Insurance New Zealand and the National Aquarium of New Zealand, with support from Napier City Council.
This free, family-friendly event celebrates our national icon and supports kiwi conservation efforts. Hit the trails and enjoy stunning scenery and art at the same time!
