Kontra has been organising the music for the World Peace Fete since 2008, in which time it has become a highlight of the local music calendar, providing a relaxing summer day out for the whole family, with food and craft stalls, kids' events, games, and some terrific local music. The Christmas Fayre is a more recent addition and is hosted by Kontra Band, along with guest musicians, who provide an entertaining mix of acoustic music to enhance the festive atmosphere.
