File image/SunLive.

Good morning.

Welcome to the weekend, there's plenty to do in the Bay today including international cricket and a Gypsy fair.

The temperature today is slightly cooler than yesterday with a high of 19 degrees and a low of 16. It will be mostly cloudy with showers later on this evening so make the most of the day before the rain arrives tomorrow.

Head to Blake Park today to watch the New Zealand Blindcaps take on Bangladesh Blind Cricket in a T20 match at 9:30am and 2pm, there's also a game tomorrow at 11:30am. It's incredible to watch these vision impaired players compete.

Check out some great local small businesses and start your Christmas shopping at The Little Big Markets at Coronation Park from 9am to 2pm.

Tauranga Farmers markets are on as usual at Tauranga Primary school until midday.

For something different head to The Original Gypsy Fair at Simpson Reserve, Papamoa from 9am to 5pm. It's a fun filled day for the whole family with something for everyone, and entry is free.
