Family Fest Pioneer Stadium

Due to the red traffic light setting in place we have had to refund all original tickets purchased to family fest and reschedule the time sessions to fit within the co-vid regulations.

This means that there will be four time sessions a day and will be an hour an half long. There is a maximum capacity of 100 attendees for each session. Tickets can only be purchased online and no door sales will be available. Our staff will be sanitising all equipment between each session. We are making sure to put systems in place to adhere to the red traffic light system requirements. Thank you for your patience during his uncertain and difficult time. We appreciate all the support to our small business while we are heavily impacted by this situation.
