The Tauranga Multicultural Festival will return to the city this month after being postponed due to Covid-19.
Thousands of people are expected to attend the iconic festival to celebrate cultural diversity at the Historic Village on March 20.
Last year s event was postponed due to Covid-19 and the 2019 event was also deferred out of respect for victims of the Christchurch mosque shootings.
