art deco

This is Art Deco weekend in Napier.

Each year the city celebrates the rebuilding after the 1931 earthquake.

The city was rebuilt in the art deco sytle of the 1920's.

The celebrations each year draw tourists from NewZealand and elsewhere to the partying.

This is the prime tourist event for Napier each year. It is very much geared towards the 1920's and 1930's and had nothing for the younger generations of today.

Time to move on Napier, I think!
