08/10/2018 2:20am
The Masked Parade is coming up as part of the Nelson Arts Festival, and the Nelson Youth Council is gearing up to help ensure that the event runs smoothly and successfully.
On the night, Youth Councillors will be assisting in the Kids Zone and the Youth Zone, as well as with setting up decorations, judging and lending a hand where needed.
This is an event that the Youth Council supports annually and puts a lot of energy into.
The Nelson Arts Festival's Masked Parade and Carnivale is a great way to bring the whole community together, so it is vital that youth have a space to have some fun.
This year, the Youth Zone will feature great local bands, with live music and a silent disco.
Ideas given by the Nelson Youth Council for the parade and Youth Zone are always listened to, which is fantastic and we are confident that the event will be well received and attended by youth.
Youth input on community events is vital and we are thankful that we can help improve and maintain the success of this amazing annual event, by voicing the thoughts of young people in our region.
