Celebrate the arrival of spring in Alexandra

Central Otago Blossom Festival 24th September to 9th October 2010

The 2009 Contact Alexandra Blossom Festival was a great success, with around 10,000 people enjoying the celebrations. This historic Festival has marked the arrival of spring for over 50 years. The first festival was born out of community spirit and recognition of the special character of Alexandra, and these values remain at the heart of every subsequent festival.

Alexandra is renowned for its contribution to both the stone fruit and wool industries. Special celebrations are dedicated to these industries that form the lifeblood of this small Central Otago township.

Book your accommodation in Alexandra or Cromwell now for this fantastic event.
