In these trying times when the future seems unpleasant and bleak, it is imperative that we keep our positivity and spirits high and I see no better way of doing so than the Cherry Tree Festival, it was an absolute shame that it got cancelled last last year, im really looking forward to travelling to the Mighty Waikato to attend this festival

I am a big supporter of Waikato Cherry Tree festival from the first event in 2017. This year I will still undoubtedly say this is one of the best event in Hamilton.

Allowing the festival to run for 10 days will allow all those who want to attend to do so and cover the costs of organising the festival more effectively. Waikato District Council should be bending over backwards to encourage local tourism initiatives , not going out on a limb to produce petty impediments to a unique and popular local event.

I have attended the event before and it's an awesome event. Shame that last year it was cancelled.
This is what NZ businesses need right now and especially it is good for Waikato economy.

The festival is a wonderful, uplifting event. For this year of Covid 19 in particular we need wonder, uplifting and engagement in beauty and with others.

This adds a wonderful and unique element to tourism in the Waikato - and it was cruelly cancelled last year!

I would love to attend this festival with the beautiful Cherry blossoms for a day as family of 5 from Auckland. This event will be a great break and a joyful day trip away from home

Its a beautiful festival and Hamilton needs to have more events especially this year to cheer people up. And this festival is certainly a cheerful event. 😊

I have attended a Garden Party and arrived with a party of friends from Whangarei in 2019 fiasco . Witnessed the Asian neighbour intimidating our Hostess.
A wonderful resource to the Waikato. Not doing any harm . Neighbour concerned about effect on property values - needs to move . Car Parking was responsibly managed and is the key issue for future events .

This event bought joy to my 4 generations of family. Very disappointed with the councils narrow view that cancelled it last year. WDC should do better for its community.

Having more days would allow more people to attend but spread it out 😊

Tina Muirson (Pukekohe, 2020-08-30)

It would definitely be a great opportunity for people to have a relaxed day in the beautiful cherry blossoms and won't harm the public wellbeing with the organisers' considerate arrangements to appy the COVID norms.

Jane Guo (Hamilton, 2020-08-30)

Aroha Browne (Hamilton, 2020-08-31)

I believe that in these hard times, we need this Festival to boost the spirits of New Zealanders and showcase our diverse cultures.
Apart from the boost to the Waikato District economy, this festival should be suppoorted by Waikato District Council.

I have been to this each year it has been going, the gardens are beautiful and it is a great family day out, i was so disappointing when I found out it had been canceled last year, my family really enjoy the colourful experience and I believe that this is needed after the year we are having to try to put some normality back into our lives. Covid has taken its toll on my with stress and i would love to have something to smile about again.
Thank you

I'd love to go again (went 3 years ago) but $110 is ridiculous

People need a reason to connect in cultural fellowship, sisterhood, brotherhood, whanaungatanga, other than the debilitating anxiety-hood that is our new normal under covid.

So with hope in their hearts the people, though weary, looked to The Guardian of forests and he said haere mai moko, come, let my roots stabilise you, dance and sing amongst my leaves.

Leigh Wilson (Hamilton, 2020-08-31)

I'm signing because this is an awesome event. My wife and I have been for the last few years and it was sad to see it couldn't go ahead last year. My wife is a Japanese teacher in Cambridge and encourages her students to partake in Hanami here.

Matthew Rae (Hamilton, 2020-09-01)

I think they should be allowed to run the event for the extended period

Emma Bassett (Hamilton, 2020-09-01)

I believe that the number of visitors are too high and will have a negative impact on the lifestyle type of living in this area.
I represent Atawhai Assisi Home & Hospital.

There is a lack of tourist attractions in Hamilton and having experienced the blossom festival of Tokyo, Japan I know what a delight it is for the human spirit.

I’m signing because this beautiful garden has been created by Paul & Annie not just for themselves but to share with everyone who comes to the Cherry Tree Festival. Stunning gardens & an amazing event, not to be missed.

We were so disappointed for the owners last year and we missed seeing it too . I would love to go during the week as I have mobility issues and wouldn't want to be in anybody's way .

Sandra Lawrence (Auckland, 2020-09-07)

#177

It's a special event that would be nice to share with more people. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, others may miss out. I think if there's enough interest in the event to warrant 10 days, they should be able to have 10 days to share it with everyone.

Nicole Baxter (Auckland, 2020-09-07)

#178

I’m signing because I love the cherry tree festival in Waikato. It is one of the biggest events I join every year. The cherry trees in Japan are well-known to the world and this cherry festival in Waikato will let people from all over the world know that New Zealand has amazing cherry trees as well as diverse cultures.
