Keitipai 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2007 I was born in Hokitika and lived there till i was about 8 and went every year plus a few after. been to about 12 or 13 all together and it is DEFINITLY worth it if your can get there, you will have to get your ticket NOW though if they havent sold out already basically you spend the day looking at the stalls and visiting the beer tent all day, sit around on the grass in the sun getting drunk, listening to the various bands and eating the wierdest sh*t youve ever eaten and then at night they close down the whole town and you walk down the road getting wasted, there will be a few outdoor bands and stuff, and then go on the beach where everyone lights fires and gets mothered and stoned. Used to be just a little stall thing but its getting pretty big now which also means that yes it has tamed down a bit because of laws/restrictions being enforced but will be an awesome day. I highly recommend it. I would love to go but cant afford the trip down and the time off work but otherwise id be there getting wasted right alongside those of you who decide to go.
