Taranaki Down Syndrome Association Gala Day

After our January Gala was cancelled due to the weather, we are SO excited to announce a new date and we’re coming back bigger and better!

The new date also lands on World Down Syndrome Day, making it the perfect chance to celebrate inclusion, spread awareness, and bring the whole community together. Everyone is welcome families, friends, kids, neighbors… the more the merrier!

We’re also teaming up with Pukekura Railway, with trains running all day long, making it a great day out for the whole family 🚂

✨ What’s on:
🎈 Games & activities
🏰 Bouncy castle
🎨 Face painting
🌭 BBQ
🎟️ Raffles
🍦 Ice cream
🚂 Train rides all day

This is a relaxed, family-friendly event supporting a local cause and celebrating an incredible community. Come along, soak up the atmosphere, and help us make this Gala one to remember.

📍 Bring the kids. Bring your people. Spread the word.

We can’t wait to see you there 💛💙
