A huge thank you to everyone who supported the Buskers Festival Ōtepoti on Saturday. It was an amazing turnout with 1273 people attending the free event. Buskers created an exciting atmosphere along King Edward Street, showcasing their talent and skills.

Thank you to the South Dunedin business community and our volunteers for all their support. We have some gorgeous images from Martyn Buyck below showcasing the talent on the day and the prizegiving that followed at the Gasworks Museum.
