After a tough couple of years, the jewel in the crown of Wellington’s street festivals will be returning to Cuba St.

CubaDupa will kick off on Saturday, with two days jampacked with art, food and culture taking over the inner-city streets. Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to flock to Wellington’s CBD over two days to take in the sights of the street festival.

The last time the festival went ahead in 2021, around 120,000 people visited the festival over the 19 hours it ran.

Newstalk ZB's music maestro James Irwin joins Nick Mills to chat about all the bands and gigs expected to take place throughout the festival.
