Family Fun Day 2026

Family Fun Day 2026 delivered its biggest event yet, drawing an impressive crowd to Victoria Park in Feilding on Sunday and reinforcing its reputation as one of the Manawatū District’s most loved community celebrations. Now in its fourth year, the free event brought together people of all ages for an event filled with smiles, fun memories, connection, and community.

Hosted by Manawatū Community Hub Libraries / Manawatū District Council, the event offered something for everyone. From inflatables and interactive activities to live entertainment, tasty treats, giveaways, and community stalls, the park was full of energy from 10am to 1pm. With everything completely free, Family Fun Day continues to break down barriers and ensure every family can take part.

A highlight of the event was the strong presence of local community groups and organisations, who shared information about their services and initiatives. This created valuable opportunities for attendees to learn more about what’s happening in the district and how they can get involved.

Giveaways added an extra layer of excitement, and many attendees also took the opportunity to share their feedback, going in the draw to win one of two $50 Kelly’s Footwear Outlet vouchers.

Family Fun Day continues to be a unique, non-commercial event, with all food and activities offered free of charge, ensuring it remains accessible to everyone in the community.

This successful event was made possible thanks to the collaboration between Manawatū Community Hub Libraries / Manawatū District Council, along with the generous support of sponsors especially major sponsor Central Energy Trust and numerous local businesses and organisations.
