St Patrick's Day in the Bay has been reinvigorated.
Saturday March 17, earlier known as Neil Diamond day - then tragically the day the music died - has now morphed into Napier Rocks Saturday.
In the wake of the Mission Concert failure Napier City Council and Hawke's Bay Tourism have come off the bench and filled a gaping hole in the concert calendar.
Napier Mayor Bill Dalton said council was stoked to swing into action.
"When the Mission Concert was cancelled we felt it was important that we, as a city, offer some entertainment to those visitors still travelling here for the weekend".
