Minakami Adventure Festival - October 1-2


Not long to go until the Minakami Adventure Festival which was a stunning success last year, and looks like it will be even better this year. The basic idea is to showcase all the great stuff in Minakami. Tours are half price so there is no excuse not to have a crack at that activity you have been eyeing up for a while.

The Festival takes over the whole of Yubiso Park and this becomes the hot location in the town for the weekend. Loads going on with fun and games for kids and adults alike - bungy running, buggies, mountain bike trials, candle making workshops, hula & hip hop dancing among other attractions.

The other big draw to the weekend is the adventure race which this year is aimed at first timers. You don't need any equipment, just a team of 3 and a sense of adventure. The race itself will be fun 5 or so hours of multi-activities including rafting, swimming, canyoning, rappelling, and orienteering. Adventure racing is a great way to spend a day and you won't even notice the time pass.

There is live music during the day, and into the night. And for any of you keeping a close eye on the rugby, the games will be playing on the big screen at Canyons.
