Dave and Caroline Armstrong took over the job of organising the biennial Upsurge Festival in the Bay of Islands just before Covid hit.
It was cancelled last year, postponed in April this year - and will open for eight days from this Sunday.
The challenges haven't been confined to Covid - Northland's recent floods made it tricky to get to four schools where students are participating in a show with the Royal New Zealand Ballet.
Dave and Caroline join Kathryn to discuss the festival - which traverses a wide geographic and demographic space.
