Kids party on without drink
There was no alcohol but plenty of party spirit fuelling the atmosphere at the Whangarei Youth Space's Christmas Do.
The event, dubbed Blackout, was organised over the course of a week by five young members who wanted to show that boozing wasn't the key to having a good time.
Organiser Ocean George, 16, explained the event was inspired by her keenness to help a friend who had developed a drinking problem aged just 15.
The party featured a darkened dance area with a blacklight, a photo booth, mocktails and competitions.
