Morning all, after a particularly chilly week, we're welcoming Saturday and the start of the July school holidays with open arms.

With occasional showers predicted for Tauranga, you may be planning a cosy day indoors, but if you're after some stellar entertainment come to Baycourt or Tauranga Boys' College and check out the talents on show at the Tauranga Festival of Performing Arts.

Tap dancer Kelsie Sant will perform at Baycourt today.

More than 600 competitors from across the North Island will be impressing audiences with talents ranging from singing and instrumental, to ballet and tap, in the 57th annual event.

Today's schedule includes highland national dance at TBC's Theatre, and tap dancing at Baycourt.

It's all yours for a gold coin donation, doors open 9am-9pm.
