This year's Lake Tarawera Spring Fair was bustling in the sunshine, with a number of new stall holders joining the annual event.
Lake Tarawera Spring Fair committee member Andrea Sheffield said the event was "fantastic", with heaps of people shopping this year and not just browsing the stalls.
Mrs Sheffield said it had been a busy atmosphere, and they did a head count between 10am and 11am, and 500 people came through the fair in that time.
She said there were also about 80 stalls this year and it kept getting bigger each year with more people coming through.
"This year we had a lot of new stall holders which was really cool and good to see."
