A Fair Day... #281

Newtown Fair Day 2008
Always a highlight of the Newtown Festival, the fair day this year included performances from some of the stars of the New Zealand music scene including The Phoenix Foundation, The Avaitors, The Yoots, The Sam Manzanza Band and Hikoikoi. The Fair Day featured five stages, including a DJ Stage on Newtown Ave with Wellington's premier selectors showcasing musical styles from around the world, a latin stage on Emmett Street, stages on Wilson and Green Streets and much more! The streets was lined with over 200 food, art and craft stalls, a car show, mental health stand plus a games area for the kids!This year the Fair Day also had an eco-friendly focus, with recycling initiatives being put in place. On Fair Day, various central streets in Newtown are closed to vehicular traffic and have parking restrictions in place.
