The founding of the province of Canterbury is celebrated with a regional public holiday, and the popular Agricultural and Pastoral (or 'A&P') Show. This show has been held annually since 1862, and attracts huge crowds from around the region. Canterbury Anniversary Day was originally held on or around 15 December, the anniversary of the old Canterbury province marking the arrival of the First Four Ships at Lyttelton, 1850. However in the late 1950s the day was moved to a more convenient time for horse racing, in mid November. Archives New Zealand https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RegzDF2_JM
