It’s recommended that car users consider ride share apps, public transport or alternative routes or modes of transport during the event, and pedestrians, cyclists and e-scooters should take extra care around the event venue.
While the event has a special liquor license, there is a liquor ban on the waterfront and neighbouring streets with fines up to $250, so it’s recommended to finish your drink before you leave the venue and do not bring alcohol to the Wellington Waterfront.
As it’s going to be another big weekend in town it’s important to stay safe and look after your mates. Take 10 will be in two spots, its usual Courtenay/Taranaki Street site, and the pop-up indoor venue at 47 Courtenay Place, both offering water, lollies and support to anyone who needs it. You can drop in, charge your phone, play some games and chill for a bit – they’re there to make sure everyone is staying safe while having a good time in town.
