Artists, performers, musicians, retailers and hospitality operators will come together on Friday night to take over downtown Timaru for the inaugural Ignite Timaru First Friday event.
The first of two proposed Friday night events, the trial is part of CityTown, a council project dedicated to “reimagining and regenerating the city centre” with a budget of $34.6m.
The first Fridays in November and December will see “a vibrant pulse of night-life” in the city centre, said Ignite Timaru event coordinator, theatre director Kimble Henderson.
“From each end of Stafford St, there will be creatives filling the streets,” she said.
