Art Deco Weekend in Napier takes place each February. It has developed into a huge series of events over a period of a week culminating in the Art Deco Weekend. I spent from 11am until about 4pm wandering, chatting to people I know, photographing and generally soaking up the atmosphere. There will be a few postings to go with those from the last few years and I shall start with a few random photos.
Some of the several hundred old cars parked along the Marine Parade agaist the background of Cape Kidnappers across the Bay
The Royal New Zealand Nave Band playing in The Soundshell
Just a small selection of the hundreds of picnics taking place
The Band again
The Veronica Bell speeches
The Hawkes Bay catamaran sails along the Bay shoreline
A few of the crowds
Just chatting

Looks like SUCH fun! ;^) ;^) ;^) I love how many of the people are dressed in a reminiscent fashion with "boater" hats and dresses....

Oh it does look like such a fun weekend - maybe next year! Love the photo of the scantily clad ladies with the umbrellas! It really captures a mood.
