This Weekend: The Hakatere Noodle Festival 

From Nights, 9:15 pm on 6 September 2024

Every Friday, we bring you some of the most interesting events and happenings coming up in Aotearoa this weekend - from the community fairs to the massive concerts.

Tonight, we head to Ashburton tonight to find out about this weekend's Hakatere Noodle Festival which is returning to Baring Square.

It's organised as part of Welcoming Week, celebrating newcomers to New Zealand with noodles from around the world.

Ana Taufa is the Hakatere Multicultural Council's coordinator and joins Emile Donovan.
