Spring, community, creativity and collaboration;
Branch Out Festival 2023 was a success!

On Saturday morning over the weekend, Nikau Street in Uptown was humming with festivities for 2023's "Branch Out - Uptown Spring Festival"!

Live art was happening, activations engaged with, giant games were played, delicious local food was devoured, friends gathered for photos at the free photo-booth, and kids created chalk art on the street to their hearts content.

The Uptown business and arts community had something for everyone; the atmosphere was positive, relaxed and joyful.

The programme was jam packed, and included outstanding musical performances from local talent and circus performances amid a full day entertainment line-up.

Thanks to all the businesses who participated, the community who came out in force, and a special thanks to our partners in putting on this event, Link Alliance.
