<p>Aside from your usual camping gear and comfort items (if you’re staying at Narrows), there are some other things we thought we’d encourage you to bring with you to Kiwigrass.</p>
<ul>
<li>The basics: Hats, sunglasses, sunscreen. It’s summer!</li>
<li>A raincoat and warm clothes for the evenings. It’s New Zealand!</li>
<li>A chair. All our venues have chairs, but it’s always good to have one for the campground jam sessions.</li>
<li>Swim togs and a towel. There’s a pool! NB: children under 18 may not use the pool without supervision of a responsible adult.</li>
<li>Plates and cutlery. Even if you aren’t cooking/preparing your own food at Narrows, you can help us meet our sustainability and waste reduction ambitions by bringing your own plates, cups, drink bottles, and cutlery. Just let the food truck operators know you’ve brought your own container when you order your food or beverages. There are kitchens available for washing up after your meals.</li>
<li>Camp stoves/cooking gear. If you are camping, don’t rely on being able to cook all your meals in the camp kitchens. They are small and bound to get crowded. Be prepared to cook at your camp.</li>
<li>Money! There will be great <a href="/food-at-kiwigrass/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">food and beverages</a> on site. Also, a delightful selection of Kiwigrass schwag to take home as evidence you were there, at the VERY FIRST KIWIGRASS.</li>
</ul>
<p>Things you won’t need: Printed tickets! Bring your booking number(s) and some form of ID with your name on it and we will have a packet for you at the door.</p>
<p>You can pick up your packet at Tamahere Hall on Friday, or from the Ticket and Merchandise table at Narrows Park, which will be located near the main concert hall.</p>

<div class="entry-content">
<p>We have a program! You can now find your favourite bands and plan your weekend viewing.</p>
<p>There are three main concerts featuring our 2019 headline acts and these promise to make memories for everyone. The Welcome concert on Friday night at Tamahere Hall doubles as an album release party for the Lonely Heartstring Band as they release their new album, <em>Smoke and Ashes</em>, supported by great bluegrass bands from Australia and New Zealand.</p>
<p>The Saturday night showcase concert again features headline acts from the USA, Australia, and NZ, including the family band RhodeWorks who have been rapidly gathering fans on both sides of the Tasman.</p>
<p>The Farewell concert on Sunday is our last opportunity to enjoy and celebrate with our wonderful lineup of bluegrass bands for Kiwigrass 2019.</p>
<p>Also running over the weekend are Blackboard Concerts and walk-up stages where you will hear a variety of performers. Saturday morning is for workshops, while Sunday morning is for Paul Trenwith’s birthday breakfast and a whole lot of Gospel!</p>
<p>Invisible, but built into our program, is time for you to just hang out and jam with friends both new and old, sharing the love of bluegrass music. We’re so excited. We hope you are too, and we look forward to having a pick with all of you!</p>
