Highlights

After a year of COVID-related postponements and cancellations across our community, the Wellington City Council contacted us with the perfect challenge: activate a public space with live art in a way that is engaging, accessible, and can be safely socially distanced.

For the last two summers, we’ve filled the waterfront with over eighty performances, roving artists, and interactive events. In the process, we’ve curated one of summer’s longest publicly accessible arts events in Wellington.

This year we’re thrilled to return for a third season and help raise funds for the Wellington Free Ambulance.

“I was incredibly impressed by Spark & Flare’s professionalism and adaptability managing our event. With assured care they shifted to meet the challenge of a changing COVID-19 alert system with short notice and with confidence. Their focus on Health and Safety for both the artists and the public whilst continuing to deliver an engaging programme was impeccable. Overall, Spark & Flare were able to deliver eight incredible weekends, and I could not have been more delighted with their results.”

Serving the perfect pairing of talent across a smorgasbord of events, our artists were the cherry on top for over five events in Wellington’s newest foodie festival.

“Eat Drink Play would like to congratulate the Spark & Flare team for the wonderful contribution they’ve made to Wellington’s Eat Drink Play Festival. Having their local entertainers involved gave our customers a breath of creative, fun and playful fresh air, and helped make the festival a brilliant success. I highly recommend Spark and Flare when planning your next performance or event.”

Acrobats, aerialists, fire dancers, drag queens, contortionists and more! From Auckland to Ōtepoti, we’ve brought a big top full of talent and pulled out all the stops for this series of circus-themed raves.

“As always, Spark & Flare provide a fantastic service from start to finish. They really know how to entertain! I would highly recommend using them for any entertainment or performance needs for shows, being it indoor or outdoor.”
