You can't beat #WellingtonOnAGoodDay like #CubaDupa and #TransRally
AND
Cities need to support Arts and Culture to keep them alive. Make sure to remind Mayor Brown and #Auckland Council of this simple truth!!

I didn't do much on the final day of #CubaDupa, just followed around this high energy dance troupe. For this one we were given headphones which played music for us and blocked out the rest of the festival, which made it feel like we were in this little bubble world. I really enjoyed it.

Looking through the festival schedule there are dozens of events I would have liked to get to if I hadn't been volunteering, but as always I get more enjoyment from volunteering than from merely spectating.

Just a little party. 🌈🎉 #CubaDupa #HouseParty #EvaSt # HannahsLaneway #Pōneke

Today for #CubaDupa I am in pink and high vis orange, which is not quite the combination I would have picked out for myself

@whatthehall I love Dan's comics too #YeehawTheBoys. It says here DARTZ are playing at #CubaDupa but I may have missed them

Various parades and performances I supported in various ways for #CubaDupa 🥳

Wish I could have stayed longer in town. Anyway, here’s the Flying Nun shop staff’s scratch band covering _Death and the Maiden_ by the Verlaines.

I have full video of their great cover of _Anything Can Happen_ by the Clean.

Went for a wander along waterfront and Cuba for #CubaDupa ; it's too heaving with people for my tastes and has grown to the point I don't really find it enjoyable

The #Bollywood street parade for #CubaDupa 💃

#GrantRobertson putting a lot of emphasis on inclusion and how certain overseas visitors who remain nameless need to respect that inclusion over #CubaDupa weekend 👀

Waiting for #CubaDupa to be opened 🥳

If you are looking for me I am the floating volunteer in the pink shirt and the very excellent white/purple he/they butterfly/moth pin gifted by @T 💜

Does anyone know if there's a charge for the bike valet parking at #CubaDupa this weekend? Asking for a trike.

I'm volunteering for #CubaDupa again this year, and I just got sent my shifts and they don't clash with the Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull counter-protest event, so I'll be able to do both :blobhaj_asparagus:
