Over the few days, Oamaru residents and visitors to the town will be able to escape the 21st Century and step back into the Victoria era .
The Oamaru Heritage Celebrations start tomorrow and, until Sunday, there's a packed programme of events, set against the backdrop of the town's Victorian precinct and impressive limestone buildings.
There's a ball, a garden party, exhibitions and even penny farthing races, and tours to bring the town's history to life...
Joining Jesse is tour guide and festival stalwart, Mike Gray.
