Rotorua is set for a bumper summer season of events with one organiser saying the town has been humming as the weather warms up. Weekend markets, summer festivals, Christmas gatherings and sports events will fill every weekend in the city right through to the end of March.
More than 40,000 people were expected to attend the events, according to the Rotorua Lakes Council.
