About this Event

Don’t all these big bands get you a bit hungry?! If you need a feed to start the whole weekend, then head on down to the Friday Street Food Market Cathedral Square to hear a Big Band playing for our big village, right in the heart of it all. This fabulous free outdoor event is brought to you by the Christchurch Big Band Festival. Check out the swinging swing from the Garden City Big Band and Sidleine Swing (it's even in the name!) You might witness some fancy footwork from some local swing dancers, or even join in yourself. This one's going to be outside, so there will be room to move, with plenty of food trucks making delicious street food for you. Doctors recommend eating after dancing... Check out the free swing dance lesson bought to you by the Swing Town Rebels! https://www.facebook.com/swingtown.rebels.5 5pm Garden City Big Band 5:45pm Dance Lesson 6:15pm Sideline Swing P.S.
