Art Deco Weekend!!

Art Deco Weekend is a celebration of the rebuilding of Napier after the 1931 Hawke's Bay earthquake- it celebrates our beautiful city and it's iconic buildings, memorializes the people of the city during the 1930's and makes for a great weekend! The event is planned extremely well, has an incredible amount of era-appropriate events and a magnificent setting. Everybody dresses up - frocks, heels and accessories, bow ties and suspenders... Add vintage car parades, over 200 different events - it's a great weekend!

Short drive from Napier city or can easily be walked. There is toilets at the top so would be a perfect spot for some free camping!
Eery trip through Napier's prison which had been empty now for over twenty years. You get a portable speaker and can walk around at your own pace. Is a little bit difficult to walk around with a stroller. 

Also they do one night tour a month which looks very spooky!

This cycle/walk way  is VERY near the tidal waterways - or in this case, under it. 

Nice area to walk near the airport, with quite a few birds to be seen.
