Families came together at Whangarei Falls on Saturday for a day that was fun for both the young and the young at heart.
The Te Otuihau Community Expo included sports activities, dance performances, a hangi, food stalls and bubble blowing. The event was planned to build on past community get-togethers such as the former Tiki Pride festival, organiser Kathryn McKenzie said.
It also provided families with the opportunity to learn more about services and organisations in the community.
Northern Advocate photographer Michael Cunningham went along and snapped these photos.
