Cheers for the weekend #CubaDupa!
Cheers for the weekend #CubaDupa! Thousands of people flood Wellington’s city centre for return of CubaDupa.
🍾 Chantal Claret rocked 🤘the stage on Saturday night & set the mood, while Black Pacific’s Deva Mahal, Z o E M o o N, and Imon Starr serenaded us on Sunday with their sweet sounds 👏at their NZ band debut. We’re so lucky to have these artists in 🇳🇿 & very proud to be supporters & call them fellow 🇺🇸. Thank you to all the performers, vendors, supporters and volunteers, who made this weekend possible. Congrats team CubaDupa for a successful festival 🙏.
A picture speaks a thousand words, so below are some photos of Cuba Dupa – Wellington’s street party! More photos here.
