Events play an important part in attracting visitors and residents to town, and coordination of the efforts of various groups helps obtain the maximum community benefit from such events.
Check out www.tepuke.co.nz for events in Te Puke and www.katikati.org.nz for events in Katikati and for a full listing of events throughout the Bay of Plenty check out www.events.tauranga.govt.nz.
To enable event planning it is important to have all events diarised. Please log your event on the Tauranga City Council website and don't forget to notify your community newspaper. A notice in the What's On column is free and may generate further coverage. For international coverage, you could log your event onto http://www.nzlive.com/.
