The votes are in for this year's family movie at the Glo Festival on New Year's Eve.

The Rotorua Daily Post, which is supporting the movie, ran a public vote on its website and the people have chosen Moana.

The hit Disney movie received well over half the votes, ahead of the other two choices Sing and Pete's Dragon.

Families are being encouraged to get to the Village Green by 6pm to get a good spot and settle in for the movie.

When it finishes, local acts and a DJ will perform before the headline act Elemeno P takes the stage.

A fireworks display will be at the Lakefront area around 9pm for those with smaller children.

The main fireworks display will be around the stage area at the Village Green at midnight, with Elemeno P doing the countdown.

Glo Festival is an alcohol-free event and this year will be over one day on Sunday December 31. In previous years the festival has run over three days at different venues, including a separate movie night at Tikitapu (Blue Lake).
