Sunday Bandstand
The Garden City is lucky enough to boast some of the finest brass and pipe bands in the land. While most of the Sunday Bandstand performances showcase the talents and flair of individual bands, if you get to the contest at English Park on 24 Feb you'll experience a stunning array of pipe bands from all over the South Island!
