Thousands of people are expected to gather for Tauranga's Anzac Day services in the city this Wednesday.

This year's events continue honouring the soldiers who fought at Gallipoli and other conflicts in which New Zealand has been involved.

2018 also marks the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that ended the First World War.

This year's Anzac Day Civic Service will be held at 9am on Wednesday, April 25 at Memorial Park, Tauranga, commemorating 103 years since the Battle of Gallipoli.

In the event of inclement weather, the civic memorial service will be held in the Queen Elizabeth Youth Centre and the parade will not take place.

Free Park and Ride services will be available for the Tauranga Civic Memorial Service and the Mount Maunganui Dawn Service.

The free Park and Ride service for Tauranga's Memorial Civic Service will be available from Tauranga Boys' College on Devonport Road to Memorial Park between 8am and 8.40am, with returning buses immediately following the Civic Memorial Service.
