Bananas, pirates, superheroes and cowboys danced the day away during North Dunedin’s annual Hyde St party at the weekend. The notorious student dress-up street party was labelled a success by emergency services and attendees this year. Hyde St resident Briar Begg was dressed as a Girl Guide and said the event was "so sick". Hyde St resident Alyssa Huchinson , who was dressed as a Barbie, said she was "very excited about the party". In previous years, the Hyde St party was infamous for disorder, most notably in 2012 when a roof collapsed and 10 arrests were made.
