Your last chance to catch some festival magic

Festival Countdown #21 - Your last chance to catch some festival magic

The streets of Wanaka were full of families having fun as the Street Theatre Day was in full swing with the Twisty Twins and Mullet Man amongst others. At the Central Lakes Trust Crystal Palace plenty of young princes and princesses dressed up to enjoy the fairy cakes in the palace.

Jennifer Ward- Lealand made a dramatic portrayal of Rita Angus accompanied by Michael Houstoun's beautiful renditions of Douglas Lilburn's music in a stunning production of Rita and Douglas that played at the Lake Wanaka Centre.

Anna Coddington had people dancing in the Palace to her upbeat melodies.

It's your last chance to catch some festival fun. It may be our last day but there are still plenty of wonderful shows on offer. Tickets available for the following performances on Sunday:
