The annual outdoor Sparks! concert is back.
Fine but cooler weather is forecast for the event in North Hagley Park, in Rolleston Ave tomorrow, with organisers expecting tens of thousands of Cantabrians wielding picnic baskets, camp chairs and blankets to help celebrate the event's 40th anniversary.
The popular two-hour open air concert features music from local performers and entertainers, covering a range of musical genres and styles.
