Waitangi Day Festival of the Elements cancelled
Sad news that, after 25 years, the Fesitval of the Elements has been cancelled.
The volunteer group that runs the event say the year-round work in applying for grants and funds is just too much to continue with.
Porirua council says there will still be a Waitangi Day celebration but doesn't have any details yet.
