Homegrown 2023 this weekend! - Harbourside Market moves to Reading Car Park
From Wellington News
Homegrown 101
With Jim Beam Homegrown 2023 coming to the capital this Saturday 18 March, there are a few changes along the waterfront to make way for this popular event.
The skateboarding bowl in Waitangi Park will be closed from 8am Friday 17 March until 12pm Sunday 19 March.
The Harbourside Market will be relocated to the Reading car park area (access via Tory and Wakefield Streets) on Sunday 19 March. Both Reading car parks will be used for the market so there’ll be no parking available there.
On event day, Saturday 18 March, from 11am-12 midnight cyclists and scooter riders will be required to either slow down or dismount in the area due to the high number of pedestrians.
Flamingo and Beam Scooters/E Bikes will not operate on the Waterfront during event time.
Access to the Wellington Waterfront will be available to the general public, but with some areas restricted solely for contractors and/or ticket holders:
Waitangi Park: restricted access until Thursday 23 March
Barnett Street Car Park: restricted access until Wednesday 22 March
Waitangi Stream Promenade from Cable Street to Waitangi Stream Bridge: restricted access until Wednesday 22 March
Odlins Plaza: restricted access until Wednesday 22 March
Upper Frank Kitts Park: restricted access until Thursday 23 March
Lower Frank Kitts Park: restricted access until Wednesday 22 March
There will be some traffic management measures in place during the evening of Saturday 18 March to assist crowds exiting the event.
All dates and times will be pushed out by 24 hours if bad weather (high winds not rain) cause the event to be postponed until Sunday 19 March.
