The Hits Fire and Ice Winter Festival went out with a bang, hundreds of Rotorua locals flocking to the Village Green to take part in the festivities.
Held on Saturday, the Fire and Light Ignite Lantern Parade started the night with locals displaying their lantern creations through the streets, finishing at the Village Green.
The procession of white, silver and pale blue lanterns was led down Tutanekai St by artists and street performers, who were preceded by a Brazillian percussion band.
