Hawke's Bay has plenty of activities and events for people of all ages to enjoy. We list six of the best on offer this weekend.
1. Targa Hawke's Bay 2018
This year sees a slight change of format with a move to a three-day event starting in Taupo on Thursday for documentation, scrutineering and briefing, followed by a Ceremonial Start and Parade around town. Yesterday morning the vehicles headed south towards Waiouru for the morning stages with a lunch stop in Taihape before heading over the Gentle Annie road to finish in Havelock North for the first of two nights. Today is a similar route to last year's event, with lunch and end of day in Havelock North. The local car club will also be joining us for the day in another standalone event. Tomorrow will see the group travel south into the Central Hawke's Bay and Tararua districts before returning to finish the event back in Havelock North. For more information, visit targa.nz
