The recent Food+Drink+Art event celebrated Porirua's hospitality businesses.
Porirua City is gearing up for another busy Business Month in June, with events organised to support and grow our diverse local businesses.
Free events include a Pasifika Biz Fest, an update from Infometrics Chief Executive Brad Olsen, a talk from Ngāti Toa Rangatira Tumu Whakarae/CEO Helmut Modlik, the Love Local Expo, and a Women in Business panel discussion.
“Our businesses are the lifeblood of our community,” says Porirua Mayor Anita Baker.
