After 23 years, Kaikōura's Seafest event is being cancelled for good. The organisers of the festival, Destination Kaikōura, cite rising costs and drinking that's become harder to control as some of the reasons why it's no longer worth the investment. The General Manager of Destination Kaikōura, Glenn Ormsby, tells Susie Ferguson what it means for the Canterbury town.
