Lights of all colours and shapes have been hung on houses and gardens around the Bay.
The annual Tremains Christmas Lights extravaganza is a firm favourite on the calendars of the Hawke's Bay community each December.
For 24 days until Christmas Eve, homes, businesses, gardens, letterboxes and even trees have been draped with lights to create all sorts of magical displays under the cover of darkness.
Sisters Laura and Jessica Welch were excited to take part in the Tremains Christmas Lights, with lights lining the driveway, fence and house.
Meanwhile, the Fiesta of Lights has already attracted thousands of people since opening last Saturday and features dazzling lights displays scattered along a tree-lined trail surrounded by thousands of sparkling fairy lights.
