Strong winds have forced the organisers of Tauranga's Christmas in the Park to cancel it.
The annual event, to be held at Blake Park in Mount Maunganui, was cancelled just an hour before it was due to start.
Little Big Events, which runs the event, posted a notice saying the wind was too much of a health and safety threat.
"We're so sorry for the late notice but Mother Nature is not on our side today...and the wind is simply too much of a health & safety risk.
"Watch this space to see if we can move our #livemusic and #streetfood to a safer venue."
