Lots of noise is expected and the Blenheim Pipe Band leads the parade. The crowd gathers on the foreshore for Prize Giving and the sing a long lead by The Bells. The school Kapa Haka will perform and there will be Free face painting for the children along with a sausage sizzle as a fundraiser for local school.
