It was a blistering Boxing Day for Hawke’s Bay, as temperatures in Napier and Hastings soared, and the sun beat down on the thousands who made their way to brave the sales on Emmerson St. Many were seeking the solace of sweet air conditioning inside the packedshops.

Further down the coast at Te Awanga’s Cape Estate, revellers lounged under shaded trees and canopies while enjoying the dulcet tones of talented local and international artists at the Cape Estate Boxing Day Festival.
