"We have more than 90 retail stores in our association and hope our visitors will spend some time amongst our stores. We especially look forward to welcoming the Street March competition to down-town Timaru on the Friday."

Bands are invited to email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it by the end of May, with the name of their band and how many goodie bags they would like. The goodie bags will be delivered to each band's accommodation before they arrive.
