Aroha in Uptown

Aroha In Uptown
It was a beautiful Sunday to celebrate Aroha in Uptown, for 2021’s Valentine’s Day.
The Uptown Business Association partnered with Link Alliance and the City Rail Link to bring this event to life, and it was a stunning afternoon celebrating love in all its forms in our neighbourhood!
People shared the love with free Ceroc dance classes run by Bliss Dance Studio at the Horse & Trap, made Seedloveballs at OMG, and took their pets for a portrait at Brothers Beer Juke Joint.
An abundance of live music filled the air with Pacific Elvis serenading passers-by on Symonds Street, acoustic music at The Corner Store, Eden Bistro, Brothers Beer Juke Joint, The Good Home, and DJ’s at Coffee Pen and Fridge & Flagon.
An Artwalk took people to the best art spots in Uptown, including the Art Studio Collective, Jayden Plank’s community mural and Uptown’s brand new mural made of reclaimed wood in a labour of love by Piet Ubels and his father Jan.
We welcome “Make Space” to Uptown Markets, event space, public art… joy!
