Hamilton was spoilt for fireworks choice over the weekend, with the Gallagher display on Friday and another at the closing of the Hamilton Garden Arts Festival on Sunday.
But - after Friday's display was said to have disrupted an earlier arts festival performance - the two groups are talking about working together.
"We wouldn't want to stop anyone from having a fireworks display because people love them," festival co-director Bronwyn Bent said, "but obviously we'd love to work together and make a fantastic, super-duper, mega fireworks display."
Sir William Gallagher said in a statement that he was keen to work with the festival organisers.

The Team from Neighbourhood Support New Zealand

Knowing your neighbours is one thing, but actually spending time together is to write a much richer story together... an opportunity to have fun, learn more about each other, and recognise that the strings that connect us often run much longer than just the length of our streets.

This month is all about bringing your community together and having a great time! We want March to be all about celebrating the connections we have while making new ones along the way. As we all know, what makes a neighbourhood great isn't the houses and cars, gardens and streets - it's the people who share their presence and aroha with each other.

A wonderful way to take part is to participate in Neighbours Day Aotearoa which is celebrating it's 10th anniversary from March 22nd to 31st. To help you get started, we love their suggestions for 10 little and 10 big ways to get involved. (link below)

Let us know how you're celebrating this month by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:
