Organisers of Waihi's Sundaise Festival have decided to wrap up the three-day music, art and sustainability event for good.
In a release sent to media and posted on the event's Facebook page, organisers Rachel Sorley, Al Sorley, Rachael Stanway, Matt Griffiths and Ben Holwerda thanked supporters for standing by them.
"After much soul-searching, the Sundaise team has determined that Sundaise Festival has concluded and reached the end of an era.
"We would like to thank all the Sundaise family that have stood by us and supported us in so many ways over the years. For this we are truly grateful."
The post attracted dozens of comments from people thanking organisers for the great memories they made attending the festival.
