Bring along a picnic and a rug and settle in to enjoy free local entertainment as Music at the Band Rotunda returns to Government Gardens on Sunday afternoons in February and March.

The series will cover six Sunday afternoon sessions from 1pm – 3pm, starting Sunday 3 February.

After celebrating its tenth birthday last year, Music at the Band Rotunda has refreshed the format for 2019 allowing twice as many local performers to showcase their talents.

This year’s summer series promises a diverse range of artists, from emerging to established, and covering a myriad of genre. Rotorua is in for a treat, as this year’s Music at the Rotunda series is shaping up to be an exciting event for all.’’
