On the morning of Saturday 12 October, Nikau Street in Uptown came alive with spring time performances and fun for the third annual “Branch Out” festival.

Circus performers roved the streets, and festival-goers enjoyed business activations, sampling local food, trawling for vintage finds, playing giant games, and more. Kids were busy creating crafts and chalk art on the street.

Music filled the air at the main stage, which included a full-day lineup of performances from incredible local talent.

The Uptown business and arts community offered something for everyone, creating an upbeat, positive vibe.

Thank you to the Uptown businesses and artists who came together to make the day a success. Thanks to the Uptowners and Aucklanders who came out to join in with the fun. A special thanks to Link Alliance, the Uptown Business Association’s partner in producing this event.
