March 3 – Newtown Festival

So many people – over 80,000 to be exact.

The largest free outdoor festival in New Zealand, we knew we had to go to the Newtown Festival. Newtown is the section of Wellington where the immigrants land. It is a vibrant mist mash of cultures, lots of fun to walk around in. They had 16 stages for music and over 400 vendors. It covered 11 city blocks. It was to some extent overwhelming but we dove in.
