ChristchurchNZ has confirmed plans for the BLOOM festival, which will feature several major events, including the City Farmyard, Days of Ice, Diwali, SCAPE Public Art 2020, concerts and top-class sport. Central City Business Association manager Paul Lonsdale said BLOOM offers a perfect opportunity to wander around the city. During BLOOM, the city will be adorned with street dressings and decorations, complemented by the installation of a giant CHCH sign by The Terrace. “We’ve worked closely with event organisers and city partners to deliver a programme of events, bringing the vibrant spring atmosphere Ōtautahi Christchurch is so well known for,” she says. “We hope to welcome visitors from across the region and country to the city to celebrate BLOOM.”
