LIVE Piano Accompaniment on the Bechstein Grand Piano for all Feature Films,
plus Short Films and Newsreels of the era.
The beautiful Art Deco Deluxe Theatre at the northern end of Church Street plays host to an annual three day Silent Film Festival. A series of silent classics are screened to live accompaniment on the theatre's recently restored Bechstein grand piano. Previously presented movies have included romantic comedies, historical drama's, a classic horror film, hilarious comedies from Keaton and Chaplin, and a variety of other presentations.
The New Zealand Film Archive plays a major part in bringing NZ films to the Opotiki big screen. There is always a series of short films and reels of the era to accompany the main films.
Cinemagoers are encouraged to help recreate the atmosphere of the golden age of silent cinema by dressing up in appropriate 1920's and 30's costumes for the films and the theatre is decorated apprpriately for the event with items loaned from the Opotiki museum.

ONE man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
And proof was at last years inaugural Radio 1XX Trash or Treasure event.
According to Trash or Treasure coordinator Susan Woods the event will be the biggest combined garage-sale, white elephant stall, second-hand shop and craft fair that has ever been seen in the Eastern Bay of Plenty.
“From hessian dog beds to radiator caps to artworks, furniture and tools, new and used items, books and clothes - you name it and you’ll see it at Trash or Treasure,” Ms Woods says.
“It’s going to be a brilliant opportunity for traders from around the
“People can offload household items that have been gathering dust, businesses can sell their excess stock, volunteer groups can have a stall to raise funds, and everyone will be able to find a huge array of bargains - just in time for Christmas.”.
At a flat stall rate Ms Woods says, it’s a great deal, considering the amount of free advertising and the number of shoppers who will attend.
With space for between 700 and 800 stalls Trash or Treasure is sure to be a treasure-hunter’s delight.

]]>The Annual Opotiki Rodeo sponsored by Whakatane Hunting and Fishing is not to be missed. It features spectacular horse and western type events and is commended by the competing cowboys & girls to be one of the best in New Zealand.
The Open Bull Ride starts at 2pm sharp. Carries a $1,000 purse (prize money). The cowboys ride a 700kg bull - bred especially for bucking. This is one of the highest paying events on the national circuit attracting around 200 competitors from the South Island and Australia and over 4,000 spectators. The special event over lunch time are the Cutting Horses - this is a demonstration of how horses are trained to draft 1 animal from a group of animals without it being roped or penned.
There are amusements, food and drink stands, and clothing and tack (saddlery), available for purchase. Great entertainment for all ages.
