Organisers estimate more than 2000 people visited new CBD retail and eatery destination Our Place for its official opening day.
The ribbon was cut to open the Willow St container village on the site of the demolished civic administration building on Saturday morning.
Rachelle Duffy of Little Big Events, which
organised the village, said the opening day numbers were "a great result".
There was a great vibe on the day and she'd had lots of positive feedback - and zero complaints about parking.
"So many people have said 'this is just what the Tauranga CBD needed'."
