Three council owned arts and culture facilities are holding a free community event to welcome residents back to Hastings post Covid-19.
Hastings Library, Hastings City Art Gallery and Toitoi – Hawke's Bay Arts & Events Centre are holding Titiro Mai – a free community day on July 11.
Toitoi manager Megan Peacock-Coyle said the day was created to reconnect locals with each other and the CBD through arts and culture.
"Lockdown saw us all isolated, from each other and our incredible local facilities. So, we created Titiro Mai to celebrate the way arts and culture can bring us together to celebrate, learn and discover new things, right here in our own city.
Across the three facilities there will be various activities from 11am to 2pm.
