Flocks of locals converged in Whanganui East on Sunday for one of the city's favourite annual concerts.
Cloudy weather and occasional showers didn't stop hundreds of keen locals gathering for the 13th annual Pauls Road Live music festival on Sunday afternoon.
Organiser Fred Loveridge said they dodged two bullets for the day, with New Zealand returning to Covid-19 alert level 1 to allow large gatherings from 6am Sunday, and any rough weather that would disturb the event.
"It hasn't been too sinister. It rained when we were setting up and looks like it might drizzle here and there, but nothing too bad," Loveridge said.
