As a fitting ode to the end of summer, CubaDupa is all about communal joy as familiar city streets are transformed into a vibrant celebration. Every corner of the Cuba Quarter will transform into a playground. We welcome you to a world of art and culture lurking right here in Pōneke.

The Cuba Precinct is a liquor ban zone, and regular rules and fines apply. You can however purchase and consume alcohol at any of our designated outdoor licensed areas through the festival zone. Can I bring food?

CubaDupa is a free, family-friendly event boasting two days of programmed entertainment throughout Cuba Street and it’s neighbouring roads. Music, art, parades, dance, body paint, cultural experiences… there’s always something to enjoy!

CubaDupa is held in a completely pedestrianised Cuba Quarter, in Wellington, NZ. There are no festival gates – just head down to Cuba Street and you’ll find us! If you’re a local just head on down to the Cuba Quarter in the centre of Te Aro.
