Charles Davidson has some fun at a Red Nose and Cure Kids family fun day at Ashhurst Domain.

Continuous wet weather has caused the cancellation of two major community events in Palmerston North on Saturday.

The plug has been pulled on the Cure Kids Red Nose Day set down for The Square between 11am - 3pm, and Awesome Awapuni Day in Alexander Park from 11am -2pm.

Red Nose organiser Laurel Winiata said because the weather wasn't playing ball, the fundraising day for children with disabling ailments will be replaced by sausage sizzles on Friday and Saturday at Briscoes on Cuba St.

Red Nose collectors will be rattling buckets around The Square on Saturday.

Awesome Awapuni Day organiser, Norelle Ward said the decision to cancel was entirely due to the unsettled wet conditions, soggy ground conditions and more forecast rain.

"We appreciate and thank everyone who has expressed an interest in being a part of this fantastic community day, and know that it is not just us as a committee who will be disappointed this could not go ahead as planned," Ward said.

White Ribbon Ride events in Feilding's Manchester Square on Friday morning, and in Palmerston North's The Square on Saturday morning - which include the White Ribbon Breakfast and The Walk A Mile in Her Shoes Dash - will still go ahead.

Organiser Robb McCann confirmed that despite the weather, the national motorcycle ride highlighting the issue of family violence and violence against women will proceed as scheduled.

The only event associated with it that might be affected is Friday night's White Out Concert in The Square from 6pm - 8.30pm featuring live music, testimonies and poetry.

Manawatu Abuse Intervention Network coordinator Gail Wood said a decision on the concert would be made Friday morning.
