There are Booths selling foods, shirts, ornaments, decorations, traditional costumes and musical instruments. There are also game and entertainment booths. Preparing for the Tidal Bore Festival, the landmark twin dove statue roundabout was upgraded and repainted.

Every year the statue is repainted. Previously the twin dove sit on a maroon ball, recently the ball was repainted into black colored. Incidentally, this statue is also a PokeStop in the Pokemon Go game. Some might think the black ball mimic the UltraBall in the Game.
