The annual Sandringham Spring Festival celebrates the end of a cold and dreary New Zealand winter. I love the community spirit at these events, and it is a fantastic opportunity to support local artists and businesses. These photos were taken for the Sandringham Project in Community Empowerment (SPiCE), the organisers of the event.
