Another successful Harbour Street Jazz and Blues Festival has come to a close with music makers and music lovers alike packing Ōamaru venues, filling the street, and soaking up the atmosphere at the weekend.

The weather played the perfect supporting role for the multi-gig event, which included almost 70 performances in and around town, from Friday evening until the grand finale on Sunday night.

Festival co-ordinator Jacob Barwick said the weekend was amazing.

"Venues throughout Ōamaru were standing room only. Harbour Street had a vibe all of its own, with people roaming town and listening to all the musicians," he said.

"The highlight for many was the spontaneous performances by The Traveling Blueberries, which packed Harbour Street."

Alice Hore - part of the mobile musical madness that was The Traveling Blueberries, as well as starring in her usual gigs as lead singer of The Saggy Britches Band - also captured some photos on her travels, which she has kindly shared with the Waitaki App.

Waitaki District Councillor and photographer extraordinaire Rebecca Ryan has also generously shared some photos.

A huge thank you to them both, it takes a village!
