EVENTS
 

As inspiration to, and meeting place of, many of New Zealand's most

creatively brilliant people; K Road has organically become an arts-events space. Events are arranged with and by musicians, artists, film-makers, cultural groups and spiritual groups.

 

The K Road Business Association has always striven to encourage the

colourful character of K Road and has been either in the supporting

role or the propelling force behind the following organised chaos.
