Performers for the Southland Buskers Festival will descend on Invercargill at the beginning of February and those working behind the scenes say they are looking forward to the eighth annual festival.
Festival organiser Jodi Wright said many of the performers jumped at the opportunity to head to Invercargill because of the beautiful Queens Park location and the chance to be at the bottom of New Zealand.

This one is pretty simple. You're a Neighbourly member so connecting with your community is obviously pretty important to you. So this tip is more of a challenge; this year (or this weekend!) make it your mission to meet someone new living near you.

Here's a few things you can do to get you started:
- use the Neighbours Directory to find neighbours on your street.
- introduce yourself on Neighbourly to those living in your neighbourhood. Just a few words about yourself and what brought you here.
- Give something away or sell something! A Neighbourly exchange gives you a chance to meet someone new.
- just head out the door and knock on someone else's!

Remember 86% of Kiwis want to get to know their neighbours better, but just don't see them around much (71%). Take the first step!
