The next time it rains, you might see a haiku magically appear on a Newcastle sidewalk. The City of Newcastle is proud to partner with the Newcastle Library, Newcastle Arts Council and 4Culture to place haikus across five sidewalk locations using Rainworks' rain-activated solution.
The Newcastle Library held a haiku contest and the judges selected five lucky winners whose works are now on display. Get out and see all of them at the following five locations:
Coal Creek Pkwy & Newcastle Way - Fruit and Produce pedestrian corner
Sunny days ahead,
dancing around the city.
Bring your hopes and dreams.

Together we overcome
