The threat of a little rain didn’t deter the crowds from turning up at the Bay of Islands’ It! Festival yesterday.
Held on the Paihia village green, it is the Far North’s big spring music, food, wine and beer festival.
It showcased Northland’s artisan food producers, craft beer makers, cocktails and vineyards, including a new addition this year of the wine and cocktail pavilion.
Tiki Taane headlined the day, but there was plenty of music to choose from for everyone, including New Zealand’s premier covers band Hands Off, and Latinaotearoa.
As in previous years, a part of the proceeds from the festival is invested back into community events.
