Alexandra Blossom Festival - 2020
Region: Alexandra
Dates: Fri, 25 September 2020 - Sun, 27 September 2020 @ Daily.
Celebrate the arrival of spring in Alexandra, Central Otago
25th to 27th SEPTEMBER 2020
Update the 15th of September - With the annoucement that regions outside of Auckland will (most likely) go down to Level 1 from the 22nd of Sept we're all go! As long as there is no change in this plan, get ready to come and celebrate the 64th Alexandra Blossom Festival!
Plans for the 2020 Contact Alexandra Blossom Festival are underway as we look to build on the tremendous success of the 2019 event, where record numbers of over 15,000 people enjoyed the celebrations. This historic festival has marked the arrival of spring for 64 years. The first festival was born out of community spirit and recognition of the special character of Alexandra. These values remain at the heart of every subsequent festival. It has a unique feel of a country fair in a modern age.
Alexandra is renowned for its contribution to both the summer fruit and wool industries. Special celebrations are dedicated to these industries that form the lifeblood of this Central Otago township.
