It's not just cricket as the World Cup bowls into New Zealand this weekend!
As play starts in the Cricket World Cup, we're taking a quick look around New Zealand to see what other events are taking place during the tournament.
In case you missed it, the Opening Ceremony was held in Christchurch at North Hagley Park on Thursday 12 February. It was a celebration of the Kiwi love for backyard cricket with roving street performers playing matches before the show. To open the concert the local Maori people welcomed the visitors, then there was music and dance, and the evening culminated in a big fireworks display.
If the kids are keen cricketers, head to Nelson on 14 February where they're holding a Kids Cricket Tournament by the beach in Tahunanui.
Or perhaps the Brightwater Wine and Food Festival on 15 February is more your style. It's a celebration of the best local gourmet food, cider, beer and wine all enjoyed in the grounds of a beautiful vineyard with live music through the day.
