A midsummer festival named “Carnival of the Lake” was held on the Centennial Lagoon (Hokowhitu Lagoon), Palmerston North, January 17 – 20, 1964. A variety of activities ensured the public were well entertained during the four-day festival. In the photograph shows boys towing a ‘raft’ during a lull in the event. Note the gondola in the background. The Carnival of the Lake was organised by the Public Relations Organisation and held during Anniversary Weekend in 1963 and 1964.
