"It is a wonderful opportunity for the Rotorua community to come and relax in beautiful surroundings and hear great local musicians," Parsons said.

Guests are encouraged to bring along their own seating or picnic rug and lay back to enjoy the show.

Organiser and Rotorua Lakes Council public art advisor Marc Spijkerbosch has enjoyed watching the annual event grow over the last 10 years.
