    • We love the Cuba Street Carnival, but their website: not so much. The programme is only available as a Flashy map or as a printable (but not downloadable!) full programme. And with so much stuff to see so many stages at once, it's hard to compare everything and work out what to see when. So, I typed all the acts into a spreadsheet, and turned it into a simple table with all the acts line

      • ‘My musical highlight was Olmecha Supreme - just utterly yielding to their superband jam styles and dancing my arse off amid a mainly stationary crowd.   Other highlight - people cheering when the wild northerly whipped through and made the carnival flags’
      • ‘well done! their site being flash based is bad enough but that stupid tacky page turny/whatever effect when you select something is (lack of) style over content Note to Cuba St Carny organisers: fire your web developers! highlight of the music: Stinky J’

    • THE CUBA ST Carnival is set to expand for its 10th anniversary, with stages reaching down Courtney Pl as far as Blair St and road closures between Victoria St and Cambridge Tce. “The bigger you get, you’ve just got to put in more entertainment,” says organiser Chris Morley-Hall (pictured below). Speaking at the official launch party at Havana Bar, Mr Morley-Hall says he still thinks the heart of the Carnival is Cuba St itself.

    • Did you know that the Council supported the carnival? Do you think they should support the carnival? Got 2 minutes to answer those & a few other questions right here? Supplementary question: Are you offended by nudity at carnivals? If no, were you not outside Floriditas with half the Wellingtonista?

      • ‘the nudity came with the themes. i don't think it would have adhered to the themes if they were fully clothed.’

    • 's going to be huge, of course. This weekend's Cuba St Carnival is set to be the biggest yet, with some unmissable acts on the Main Stage and even the Courtenay Place bars getting in on the act. The open-ended consent means that its future is secure, and you can get there by bus for only $1 (assuming that there are any drivers available). Some of us are getting very excited indeed about the weekend, and with luck even the weather might come to the party.

    • The Cuba Street Carnival has just been granted an open-ended consent to operate as an annual event. It may remain as a biennial event, though, since the organisers prefer to avoid competing with the Arts Festival.
