What’s on in the Bay this weekend?
We hope you’re having a great Anzac Day.
With today being a public holiday, it’s strange to think the weekend is just around the corner, but it is – which is great!
So let’s have a look at what we’ve got to look forward to in the Bay over the next couple of days.
Between now and Sunday is your last chance to participate in The Great Kiwi Egg Hunt at the National Aquarium in Napier. It’s not just any egg hunt, it's an egg-streme search for 11 great Kiwi eggs amongst the exhibits – with prizes up for grabs.
Friday

Saturday
The 2019 New Zealand Single Speed Championships are on at Te Mata Peak on Saturday. Come along, and get all your Single Speed fix for the year. There’ll be all the craziness of previous editions of this event, including fancy dress, beer shortcuts, and some sweet trails and racing action.

The Big Bike Film Night is on at the MTG Hawke's Bay, Napier, on Saturday evening.

For music on Saturday nigth, Tim Hansen is at the Urban Winery in Ahuriri, Napier, while Adam Hattaway and The Haunters are at the Common Room in Hastings.
