So far, more than 250 events had been held throughout New Zealand and police are urging people to make the most of these new events.
The events
in the Bay of Plenty region will take place over the coming weekends in Rotorua, Ōhope, Taupō, Turangi and Te Puke.
From December 20, people will no longer be eligible for compensation.
After this date, people possessing prohibited firearms will be committing a crime, and may be prosecuted.
