Each year the free concert has a variety of singers. Who sing their own songs and popular covers and each band is required to do at least one Christmas song. The crowd love to sing and dance along.
Come December it is Summer in New Zealand and usually warm and sunny, not this year. We as a nation are being to wonder where Summer has gone. However, a bit of rain doesnt put hardy New Zealanders off. The afternoon started off fine, this year it just didnt last!
As well as the concert there is also a confidence course which as you can see my youngest got into

At the end of the night there are several Christmas carols followed by a huge fireworks displayed accompanied to a dramatic retelling of The Christmas story.
I like any celebration that includes fireworks!
ReplyDeleteIt does look like a lot of people came out. What strikes me is the size of those tires on the course.
