Timaru Fire Bugs member Matt Blain performs in Stafford St on Friday as part of the Matariki Night Market. “There was a lot more people than we anticipated. People came and went, there were no restrictions.” There were about 20 stalls in the Royal Arcade with mostly art and craft. Then along Stafford St, which was closed to traffic from George St to Strathallan Corner, were another 25 selling hot food and other delights. Gilkison said there was a big projection on the side of the Stafford St Chambers building depicting the story of Matariki.
