Probably the best Family Fun Night ever! Can you spot yourself? 800 people of all ages played lots of games, were entertained, won lots of lollies, ate from food trucks and didn’t have to battle the weather elements going door knocking. Massive thanks to the staff and 60+ volunteers who ran all the carnival games, inflatables, photo booth, disco, performed in bands and did the clean-up. The event has been running annually since 2006 by Youth Alive Trust and Grace Vineyard Beach Campus.
If you attended, we’d love to hear any feedback so we can make next years event even better!

2020 Event – Cancelled!!!!!!!!!

Today we’ve made the sad sad decision to cancel the 2020 Family Fun Night due to Covid restrictions. Too much time, resources and money goes into planning this popular annual event, and with so much uncertainty, we’ve had to make the call 6 weeks out. Please pass it onto friends and family who normally attend. We’ll be back in 2021! Kia Kaha
