From sit-down dinners to walk up events, Summer F.A.W.C! got off to a roaring start this weekend.
Hawke's Bay Tourism general manager Annie Dundas said she had received good feedback on a number of the many events held over the weekend.
By the time Summer F.A.W.C! was launched on Friday night, around 47 of its events were sold out, with just under 90 per cent of all tickets sold.
With "not quite" half the festival's events held over the past two days, there was something for everyone.
Locals and visitors alike enjoyed events from the Hawke's Bay Insiders Art, Shopping, Wine & Food Tour, and Sotheby's Soiree with Nadia Lim on Saturday, to Bistronomy's Eat Hawke's Bay, and an Al Fresco Feast in the Olive Grove at Clearview Estate Winery on Sunday.
