WIlson turned up at Whanganui Hospital in a critical condition on July 31 and died on August 2. A homicide investigation is ongoing.

It will feature live music from DRXNES and DJ Samalamb as well as a rock hunt, face painting, spot prizes, raffles and food, the proceeds of which will be split between Jasmine's sons and Women's Refuge Whanganui.
