Auckland the hottest place to host social gatherings
The success of Dunedin’s annual Beerfest inspired OUSA to organise a similar event this year in Auckland, despite the potential danger of another lockdown.
The festival is planned for March 27 in the Spark Arena (formerly Vector Arena). With one ticket option you get “preferential access to tickets next year,” implying that this will be a recurring thing. Sorry if you can’t make the trip.
Dunedin’s Beerfest funds student services across campus. By hosting an event in Auckland, OUSA CEO Debbie Downs hoped to honour students’ wishes of becoming “more financially independent.”
