From goblins and steampunks to face painting and a man on stilts - it was a colourful atmosphere at the ArtBeat 2020.

The 24th annual event on Saturday, which is Whangārei's biggest free interactive arts festival, featured free activities for families, plus food and entertainment.

Northern Advocate photographer John Stone went along to Cafler Park to check out all the creativity.
