Wellingtonians have been descending on the harbour front to catch a glimpse of a southern right whale that has been frolicking there for a couple of days.
But while the whale has brought productivity to a happy standstill in offices overlooking the harbour, there are concerns it could be impacted by the council's Mataraki fireworks show set to take place off a barge in the harbour on Saturday night.
You can find out about whether the show will go on on the council's Facebook page here.
