Mark Your Calendars: We're Headed to Colwood! 🥳📚

We're packing up the lovable little bookstore on wheels and heading seaside for a big ol' birthday bash! 🎉 Join us as we celebrate:

✨ 10 years of Royal Bay
✨ The grand opening of Quarry Park — home to the biggest playground on the South Island (yes, we plan to test the swings, professionally of course).

This is shaping up to be an all-out festival with:

🎶 Live music & dancers
🍴 5+ food trucks
🛍️ A curated market (that’s us!)
🍹 Cocktail bars & chill-out zones
🚴‍♂️ Wild bike stunt shows
🎧 DJ Bellyfish (we don’t know what to expect either, and we love that)
🧺 Comfy picnic setups, kids tents, giveaways, a Doggy Fun Zone & more

We’ll be rolling in early to set up our story-stacked truck for some pre-event glam shots, then hanging out from 1–4 PM with books, bookish goods, and that usual Meant Well magic.

📍 Bring your friends, your kids, your dogs, your curiosity — and come say hi. We’d love to see you.
