Step into a runway of upcycled, revamped, and made-from-scratch looks. From streetwear to statement pieces, every design tells a story of transformation and sustainability. DJ HAZADUZ & Live performances by Queen2Queen, Jhustle, and more, plus stalls bursting with food, art, and exclusive merch.

Street Art NZ Music Battle
