Islamic Art & Cultural Show

Ah, well this morning I attended what I believe to be the first Islamic Art & Cultural show, here in Auckland. It was small and personal, held in one of the event centres here in Auckland, and it was nice.

They had cultural stuff on display, food stalls, all the usual stuff, and I can see this growing into a diverse and interesting show in the future.

Here are some random photos…

Mangere Bridge Jazz Festival

Small town (suburb) Jazz Festival.

Went Ok, three stages with various acts throughout the day and evening.

I didn’t stay too long, just really popped in to see what the fuss was all about.

A generally happy and fun environment.

Some random pictures and videos 🙂
