And few places in the country will give you that spectacular show of nature's cycle better than Central Otago. For many in the Southern Lakes, autumn is a time to celebrate the end of fruit and grape harvests. Open to "all lovers of good wine and food", and now in its 19th year, this street party in the old precinct of Clyde township makes a claim as the largest wine and food festival in Central Otago. In its 35th year the Arrowtown Festival has blossomed into a celebration for all with strong input from local residents, organiser Carole Watt says. For those looking for some physical activity join in the community tree planting day, fun run or Tai Chi sessions.
