Youth Week Parade
A procession of floats and vehicles which paraded down Gladstone Road on a recent Friday night marked the commencement of Gisborne's second Youth Festival Week....seven days of entertainment including a film premiere, music festival, art display, skating carnival, games evening, and mardi gras dance, organised and promoted by the young people of the city.
The parade was watched by a large crowd, and was judged for the best float, the winning entry being that of the Waipaoa Country Girls' Club.

The Y.M.C.A. entry was an impressive gymnastic display on the rear of a truck.
Male members of the Junior National Party manned a vintage fire engine.
