Humming along, with a host of events, eateries, and community markets, Christchurch might just be the place to be this summer.
From Motorsport to the Foo Fighters to New Year's in the park, the city is open for business for everyone.
As popularity soars, the region has seen an enormous influx of people, taking in about 1,500 a month in the year to June.
Mayor Phil Mauger told Tim Dower that Christchurch is starting to become a mini-Melbourne.
He says they have the river, the tram, the eateries, and little laneways which are drawing people, especially from Auckland and Wellington, to live there.
