The 13th annual Kidzone festival, held at the James Hargest College senior campus, finished on Monday, July 17.
Children and their parents enjoyed about 150 activities during the event, presented by Venture Southland.
Kidzone festival director Claire Blau said the feedback from visitors is positive.
“It’s been a great six days. We had people coming down from the North Island and international visitors. We haven’t yet counted exactly how many people came but we sold out on three out of six days,” she said.
