Whether it's a quiet amble through some of Northland's most spectacular scenery to view artworks or a higher octane visit to the frenetic-paced demo derby at Kaikohe, Easter Weekend offers it all.
If it's art that wins the day on Saturday or Sunday, then two out of three ain't bad - visitors to the Discover Whangarei Heads Arts Trail might not get perfect weather but they will enjoy some wonderful art and vistas.
Adrienne Dietrich, the organiser of the first event of its kind, said 35 artists will exhibit work at 25 venues from Tamaterau to Ocean Beach - among them glass artists, wood workers, ceramicists, painters, photographers, goldsmiths and engravers.
Five artists will exhibit at Whangarei Heads School in its dramatic Mt Manaia setting, where supporters will offer Devonshire teas as a school fundraiser.
As well as offering the artists exposure and highlighting the depth of local creative talent, the trail will give visitors to the region - and remind locals - how much the Heads area offers in terms of accommodation, walks, fishing and other marine activities Ms Dietrich said.
