10 am to 5pm
Save the date in your calendar for the best little fair in Wellington! We are looking forward to another fabulous Aro fun filled day with great music, lots of stalls, great vibes and of course the ArOlympics.
Join us for the capital's cutest community get-together, the Aro Valley Fair!
Aro Fair 2021 promises another glorious, family friendly day of entertainment and community spirit with the main live music stage and market full of stalls in the park, and Foodcourt on the basketball court.
Craft stalls, Food trucks, Oddity stalls (you name it, we've got it!), will set up in Aro Park and the community center grounds for the greatest little fair at the end of the Welly Summer.
The iconic ArOlympics will be back once again for another year, with the infamous torch ceremony opening the events on the evening of Friday 12th, ready for an all out Battle Royale to see which street will take the coveted win on the day!
We have some special guests and a few new competition rounds to add to this annual event so Aro-ites, get your street team together and get ready to compete!
ArOlympics starts 1pm, and is set to be an explosive display of strength, power and talent, with classic faves such as the water-balloon toss, tug of war and limbo making their comeback, and some controversial new games designed to keep our Aro athletes on their toes (sometimes quite literally)!
Get involved in the happenings of beautiful Aro Valley, we would love to have you along!

AROLYMPICS
The ArOlympics are a test of grit, determination, strength and sheer willpower. Pitting neighbour against neighbour in a bid to take home gold. The festivities begin on the Friday night before the Aro Fair with a torch relay through the Valley and a celebration. Only one team can take home the glory. Who will it be this year? |
