The Art Deco Trust's boutique winter festival opened with a bang last night, as people wrapped up in vintage coats and hats to take part in the winter celebration.
The opening soiree began in The lounge bar of the Masonic Hotel at 5.30pm, followed by the Bootleggers Ball in the Napier War Memorial Centre at 8pm.
The city was abuzz, with Napier's streets lined with cars and women in vintage dresses and feathered headbands linking arms as they braced against the chilly evening.
A man dressed in a top hat and coat beamed as he strolled into The Masonic to join others sipping wine and gin and tonics.
The Art Deco fiesta may be different from the summer event but it hasn't stopped people travelling from throughout the nation to attend.
