Kids aged 3 and under get free entry into the Fiesta of Lights.

Hawke's Bay Today's Paul Taylor took in the colours and shapes of the Fiesta of Lights in Hastings. The Fiesta of Lights in the Waikoko Gardens runs until January 9, and involves 350,000 lights which make up 60 displays, including animals and a 30-metre wide nativity scene.

These visitors were drawn to the Fiesta of Lights.
