The Puketapu Auction & Fair

A family-oriented rural fair and auction at beautiful Puketapu Lake - seven minutes from Taradale.

Join us each year at the Puketapu Country Auction & Fair – a beloved family-friendly event hosted by the Taradale Rotary Club Charitable Trust. Nestled around the scenic Puketapu Lake, this country-style fair features a delightful mix of craft stalls, rural auction listings and a warm community vibe.

Whether you’re interested in browsing handcrafted wares, bidding in our rural auction or simply enjoying a picnic by the water, the fair offers something special for everyone.
