We invite you to a
Summer Solstice Celebration

Join us for a day of community, kai, activities, farm tours, music and much more at Kaicycle Urban Farm, Saturday the 16th of December from 10 am to 2 pm.

We will start the day with a crop swap at 10am hosted by the amazing Crop Swap Te Whanganui-a-Tara and Wellington Timebank crew.

Crop Swap brings together a community of backyard gardeners, home bakers and food foragers for swapping and sharing high-quality local food. Feel free to bring anything you have extra or abundance of, and take home from what others bring to the table.

At 12pm everyone is invited to participate in a solstice ritual.
This is a time to make wishes for the next year, acknowledge the changing of the seasons and share our gratitude to Papatūānuku.

Then we come together at 12.30pm for a large shared potluck kai.
We invite those who wish to contribute by bringing a plate of food that represents celebration, it could be a traditional dish shared at gatherings, a recipe that has been passed down through your family, or simply your favourite kai to share with others. Seeds to Feeds will be providing some substantial items for the table so something small and easily shared is perfect.

After kai, at 1.30pm there will be farm tours of the Kaicycle Urban farm.

Other activities will take place throughout the day including, preparing seed packets to be shared around for Neighbours Aotearoa, live music and with time to connect with others. The whole whānau is invited and you are welcome to spend part of, or the whole day with us.

This event is brought to you by a collection of organisations that work hard throughout our rohe to celebrate, share, grow and champion our local kai, and our communities.

If you are interested in volunteering for the event please reach out to Rose Dohig email community@kaicycle.org.nz
