We are the Most Beautiful in the Keep New Zealand Beautiful contest, and have put ourselves forward to be the first New Zealand community to be designated a UNESCO City of Design.
We are also the only town in New Zealand to celebrate International Jazz Day - another UNESCO initiative. Perhaps that is why it has been a well-kept secret.
This will be our fourth annual event, last year having been cancelled due to the lockdown.
And what an event it will be, with some 40 musicians from all over the country playing a wide variety of popular music and with many of the musicians performing together for the very first time . because jazz can do that. It adds an excitement that only improvisation can bring.
