Fire and Emergency New Zealand are monitoring a planned act of rebellion scheduled for Napier over the weekend related to King Charles’ coronation.
A group calling themselves “Loca Cola, a collection of Loose Artists” plan to mark the coronation of King Charles III by burning an effigy of him in a bonfire on the beach between Awatoto and the Napier CBD.
“These loose artists/cannons would like to remain anonymous,” the group said, but they “encourage people to come and sit around a fire on the beach and enjoy themselves” at an event they are calling Up Chuck.
The promotional poster for the event that is circulating in Napier reads: “If royalty makes you spew we’ve got an event for you! Up Chuck!”
The event hasn’t escaped the attention of the fire service, either.
