The Strand between Wharf St and Hamilton St is closed for the first Stranded Sundays event for the summer today.

Between 11am and 2pm, adults can enjoy a relaxing time catching up with friends and family, while the children play.

Mainstreet coordinator Karena Mattson says Stranded Sundays is very much a place-making event.

'It's just a family fun day really. It's a great summer event and it's all for families to come down and have some fun.”

Karena says The Phoenix, Comida, Macau Bar and Cornerstone Pub have combined forces to organise a great day's entertainment.

'On display will be the Bay of Plenty Mustang Club, the VW Club and hot rods. So if you love classic cars – this is the place to be.

'Plus there'll be some live music and a whole lot of fun, so come and hang out on the Strand for the first of the season of Stranded Sundays.”

There'll also be some skipping ropes, building blocks and other fun activities for the children.

The event happens every third Sunday of the month, with the final Stranded Sundays on December 14.

In case of bad weather the event will be cancelled, but will still go ahead in light rain.
