The annual Nesian Festival in New Zealand's Waikato region returns today after it was cancelled last year due to the Covid-19 lockdown restrictions.
The event will take place for the first time at the University of Waikato's sportsground and organisers are anticipating their largest turn out yet, with 2019 seeing over 1,000 attending.
I'm joined by our reporter Sela Jane Hopgood who is overseeing the event - Kia Orana Sela, what can we expect today at Nesian Festival?
