Wet weather has put a damper on Queenstown’s Mardi Gras music festival, which has been cancelled at the last minute due to rain damage at the venue. The festival was supposed to take place at Warren Park on Saturday evening, but organisers sent out a message just hours before the event was set to begin saying it could no longer go ahead. “This is going to come as a massive shock due to the current weather clearing up, however we are having to cancel the festival this evening,” festival organiser Audiology wrote on social media.

Rain in recent days saw the festival site turn into a mud pit.
