Sparks in the Park

February 5th, 2009 Filed under: Life, Music | Tags: festival, Music

Just got back from the Classical Sparks in the Park, which is basically a huge free classical music event in Hagley Park which finishes with a fireworks show. The music was reasonable, and the crowd seemed to be in good sorts. Only saw one drunken teeny fight as we were leaving.

Of course the highlight of the night was the firework finally. It started with a flaming apple being shot with a flaming arrow, then moved into a pretty spectacular firework rocket display that match a classical music score that was being played.

Pretty good start to the Waitangi Day weekend.
