The 4 day event culminates in a free BBQ festival at QVM on Queen St. which will continue through to 10pm on Sunday 1st February.
Is this likely to be a more regular event? Maybe our last photo taken at around lunchtime on Sunday may give you the answer.

What effect if any did it have on the other Market food venders?
Why were some traders still being relocated stalls on the day?
Some traders along Queen St. were told to hurry up and pack there is a private function in progress and they are paying good money all while still trying to serve customers.This type of approach does little to improve trader/ Management relations.An article on the events needs to be balanced and written by someone at the events & not second hand stories."
02/02/2015 - You are quite correct Anonymous. The photos on the day were simply to record the event. The analysis comes after, and input from all interested parties is welcome. We would love to hear more detail from you - Ed.
