Summer Sunsetter success sets scene for sequel

Summer crowds… music returned to Windsor Reserve as some 2400 people gathered for the Sunsetter festival
The promoter of the Sunsetter festival plans to make it an annual event after a successful first run in Devonport.
Event promoter Highlife Entertainment’s director Adam Bennett said the event, which took place on 18 January at Windsor Reserve, went flawlessly apart from “needing a few more bartenders”.
Bennett, a Hauraki resident, said he plans to host Sunsetter annually at Windsor Reserve, keeping it the same size.
Being bigger comes with more issues and disruptions to the village, he said.
“It’s a nice number for the area.”
No major issues occurred at the event, said Bennett.
The music, beverage and food festival had huge local support, with Bennett estimating about 70 per cent of the 2400-person crowd, mostly 35-65-year-olds, were locals from Devonport, Takapuna and Milford.
The event has previously been held elsewhere on the North Shore, including at Smales Farm and North Harbour Domain.
