Wet weather threatened to put a damper on New Year’s celebrations in Oamaru.

Despite the rain, a hearty crowd showed up to the gardens to bring in the new year.

The Waitaki District Council erected a large tipi to protect partygoers from the rain.

Performers Mulletman & Mim dazzled the crowd alongside live music throughout.
