NZ – RRT supported Levin’s International Food Festival Feb 2016
After months of planning the Levin International Food Festival on 27th February 2016 proved to be a roaring success.
Levin communities pulled together to create the International Food Festival, a celebration of the diverse cultures that exist in our community. The event was organised by the Neighbourhood Police Support team and was highly anticipated and set in Solway Park in Levin south east corner, where the broadest range of cultures come together.

Many of the people represented by the communities involved had an early start, with the aroma of the hangi and umu’s wafting over the park, greeting visitors who had come from all over to sample the free food and celebrate each other’s cultures.
