Cuba Street Carnival

Every two years, the Wellington City Council sponsors the Cuba Street Carnival, and 2009 marked the 10th event! With an estimated 150,000 people in attendance, it was the next best thing to being in Rio de Janeiro. With 80 bands playing throughout the city and several food stalls and vendors, it's unlikely that anyone had a less-than-ideal day and night. Here is a video of the event (courtesy of Snapstar):
