January
New Zealand peels its eyes open after New Year's Eve, gathers its wits and gets set for
another year. Great weather, the cricket season in full swing and it's happy holidays
for the locals.
World Buskers Festival
Christchurch could use a little cheering up: jugglers, musos, tricksters, puppeteers, mime
artists, dancers… Shoulder into the crowd, see who's performing in the middle and maybe
leave a few dollars (

)
. Avoid if you're scared of audience
participation.
Nelson Jazz & Blues Festival
Get your groove on at rockin' venues and ad hoc street corner stages
(
www.nelsonjazzfest.co.nz
)
. Acts range from international funkateers through to Kiwi hip-
sters, and Nelson's reputation for great wine and beer makes it very easy to enjoy the di-
verse beats.
