The second annual Ukitopia Tweed performer Deya Dova has some of the crowd up and dancing Festival at Uki drew hundreds of people to the village for the two-day event. Ukitopia celebrated all aspects of the colourful Uki community including art, cul- ture and sustainable living. Magic shows, craft work- shops and live music kept kids entertained while the Buttery Bazaar markets and the Eco Expo at Uki Public School, both drew big crowds. Organiser Natascha Wernick said the event, which this year ran for two days instead of one, was well received by the local community.
