Hundreds of people from all over the North Island of NZ attended the event, which included entertainment by accordionist and vocalist Diana Letica, the Dargaville Cultural Kolo Club & Tamburica band, the Kaitaia Cultural Club Tamburica band and the Dalmation Cultural Society Choir. In addition, the Dargaville Museum held gum washing displays throughout the afternoon. This museum features a permanent display 'Accordion Gems' by Kevin Friedrich which is an accordion collection of over 200 historic accordions and history of accordion in New Zealand.
