A little piece of Scotland comes to Turakina today, for the annual Turakina Highland Games.
It's the 151st time the Games have been held there. They began in 1864 as a way for the local Scottish settlers to keep the culture of their homeland alive.
Debbie Benton from the Turakina Caledonian Society said up to 2000 people could be expected.
There was a variety of events, from pipe bands and highland dancing competitions, to field games, a clan march and, in the evening, a ceilidh, or party.
One of the feature events in the field games is tossing the caber, with particular interest in the very large caber event.
