Kapiti Food Fair getting ready for a big day of foodie heaven
he Kapiti Food Fair closed for vendor registration back in August. “We are now working on the Site Map and whew it’s a big job with our footprint increasing this year to 250+ sites. 35% of sites are local Kapiti folk cooking and packaging what they do best. We are going to colour code local vendors on the Site Map this year as we think visitors will like that. The Liquor Zone, with craft beers, distilleries, liquors, ports, wines and cider has taken an exciting leap of growth this year and we also have an Italian Zone organised by the Italian Chamber of Commerce based in Wellington,” says Fair owners Helene Judge and Jeanine van Kradenburg.
