Drew James: CubaDupa director on the street festival returning to Wellington after Covid hiatus - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

The nation's largest street festival is returning to Wellington after a two year Covid-19 hiatus.

CubaDupa is back on March 25th and 26th, with dance and music ensembles, interactive installations, and cultural experiences.

The festival's last outing attracted more than 150,000 people, and next year's run promises to be even bigger. 

Director Drew James says 28 stages and creative zones will be set up around Cuba Street.

"It's going to be fantastic, we had a couple of years of cancellations in 2020 and 2021 was absolutely  huge, we had great audiences and it was really well-received by people coming out of that Covid situation."
