Newtown’s shops and local businesses will be joined by over 200 other stall holders & community groups selling an enormous range of goods, reflecting the diversity of the people who come together for this event. Stall sites fill both sides of the main street & into the adjoining side streets.
A performance based street fair with live music, colourful costumes and dance all day entertainment is provided by community groups, local musicians and Wellington bands. The depth of talent in wider Wellington comes to our community for this once a year street party.
