Each week, Culture 101 puts the spotlight on a different part of Aotearoa for our regional wrap. This week, it's one of the food and wine capitals of the world - Napier. It's gearing up for the annual Art Deco Festival in which tens of thousands flock to celebrate all things 1920s. For four days, from the 13-16 February, the centre of the coastal city will be transformed by vintage car parades, fashion competitions, entertainment and food, drink and dancing. Heritage Manager at the Art Deco Trust, Jeremy Smith spoke to Culture 101.
