With fine weather forecast, conditions are looking perfect for the Wheel 4 Cure Kids fundraiser at Fraser Cove and the 2017 Colour Splash Festival at Mount Maunganui's Coronation Park.

More than two dozen freestyle motocross riders and BMX riders will soar through the sky while performing death-defying tricks for the Wheels 4 Cure Kids fundraising event in the carpark of the in Fraser Cove Shopping Centre, from 12pm.

It features an array of world class riders including FMX stars Levi Sherwood, Nick Franklin, Luke Price and Mitch McHardy, plus BMX'ers Jed Mildon, Paul Langland, Jaden Leeming and Billy Clerke.

Wheels 4 Cure Kids will also feature charity auctions, raffles – including a KTM 50 SX worth $5500 – giveaways, heaps of entertainment for the young ones, live music and much more.

The popular and thrilling event attracted a crowd in its thousands last year and raised nearly $15,000 for Cure Kids.

While on the other side of town, the 2017 Colour Splash festival is guaranteed to add a burst of colour to your year down at Coronation Park, from 12pm-4pm.

Organiser Dhruva Reid says entry to the festival is free, you just need to pay for your colour powder.

The festival will feature live DJ and dance performances, plus fun games to win free dye packages.

It's best you wear old white clothing as this will show the most dramatic colour and in case not all of the colour washes out.
