Nestled in the heart of New Plymouth, Go Street, a vibrant restaurant and bar, eagerly awaits the annual spectacle that is the TSB Festival of Lights. As the festival unfolds, the city transforms into a dazzling canvas of light, sound, and creativity, drawing patrons from all corners of Taranaki and beyond. For six weeks, from the 16th of December to the 21st of January, the TSB Festival of Lights casts its enchanting glow over Pukekura Park, and Go Street becomes a front-row seat to the mesmerizing display.
For the team at Go Street, the festival is not just a visual feast but a boon for business.
