This may be one of the only events in New Zealand where spitting is perfectly acceptable and expected.
Cromwell s fifth annual Cherry Festival and National Cherry Stone Spitting Championships will be held on Sunday on the McNulty Lawn in the Cromwell Heritage Precinct.
Cromwell and Districts Promotion Group (CDPG) marketing and communications manager Marion Low said the quirky annual festival was always a hit with locals and visitors and was a great way to enjoy the warm Central Otago sunshine.
