Rugby World Cup 20011
One of the world's biggest sporting events is coming to the world's
best small city when Ireland takes on Americas 2 as part of the Rugby
World Cup 2011 at New Plymouth's Stadium Taranaki.
The Rugby World Cup 2011 Festival will ensure that
visiting teams, administrators, fans and supporters see the best of
Taranaki's legendary hospitality and discover just why this region has
been called the ‘Events Capital of New Zealand'.
National and international awards have proven Taranaki is a vibrant and innovative region. This is further reflected in the hosting of these three World Cup matches. Tickets for each match are likely to go on sale in late 2009. Watch this space for more information.
Over three gorgeous days around 40,000 ticket holders soaked up the sounds, smiles and sunshine at WOMAD 2009. The festival plunged festival-goers into sensory overload with sights, sounds, arts and crafts, and culinary delights from around the globe. More than 200 artists came together in New Plymouth, New Zealand to deliver an expansive array of music and dance. Many of the artists enjoyed meeting festival-goers at CD signing sessions and during their strolls among the mellow crowd. The festivities kicked off on Wednesday night with a coastal bbq to welcome the performers. Thursday's powhiri (traditional Maori welcome) delighted and moved the performers and set the scene for the following three-days of cross-cultural engagement.
