At Toitoi there will be entertainment ranging from face painting and dance to local musicians.
Nineteen-year-old singer-songwriter Isobelle Walker, who is back in the region on holiday from her study at Wellington School of Music, will be performing.
"Like most artists, I haven't been able to perform in some months, so the fact that I have the opportunity to play for the first time again in my home town just feels right," she said.
"I'm elated to be able to sing for the beautiful Hastings again. I have very fond memories of visiting the Opera House as a kid, and now feel blessed to perform at Toitoi where that same heart of creativity hums a tune."
Hastings Library will hold Storytime at 1pm, Lego continuous build, a Matariki-focused maker-space and a self-directed activity focused on Ngā Pou.
Hastings City Art Gallery curator Clayton Gibson said they will have an activity booklet for children and two floor talks.
At 11am artist Birgit Moffatt will talk about her current exhibition, Ko Papatūānuku e takoto ake nei, then at noon Gibson will give a tour of the current exhibitions which include Local Lockdown and the new exhibition Milk Run by Derek Henderson, which features photography of the urban landscape of Hastings in the 1970s.
He said there will also be an interactive wall where visitors can draw their favourite lockdown memory for a wall for all to see.
