Napier Summer Street Party - Saturday 3rd Feb
Saturday 3rd Feb - 10am - 3pm
The first Sat in Feb sees a fun, free, family-friendly event in the CBD - the Summer Street Party on Emerson.
We'll have two entertainment zones, one especially for the kids (with face painting, bubble machines, storytelling and Parkour arobatics), and a second zone featuring kapa haka from Ngā Uri o Pania, beats from the Bay Batucada sound battalion plus music and dance. The road's closed so the party can stretch the length of Emerson Street.
The only missing ingredient are a thousand Napierites. Hope to see you there!
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
