A chance to have some summer fun at a street party in the Napier CBD this weekend will go ahead despite the showery weather forecast.
Predictions of occasional showers were not expected to put a dampener on the family-friendly Summer Street Party being held this Saturday.
Stretching the length of Emerson St the event was set to run from 10am to 3pm and have three entertainment zones, one specifically for children.
The closed street would come alive with entertainment from kapa haka from the talented Nga Uri o Pania, acrobatics by Parkour, Bay Batucada Drummers, buskers, photo booths, free face painting for kids and a sneak peek at the upcoming Madame Butterfly opera.
Napier City Business Inc manager Zoe Barnes said she was pleased to support the Napier City Council with the initiative to bring the street alive over the very busy weekend
