Come and celebrate the vibrant and unique heart of Auckland at a Midtown Street Party on the third Thursday of every month.
Midtown has become a little bit Karangahape Road, a little bit Dominion Road, but most of all this neighbourhood has a community vibe all its own.
Midtown is throwing a party in the streets for everyone. Bring your family and friends and join us for live performing arts, delicious eats and hidden retail gems.
You’ll discover a midtown you’ve never experienced before.
Coming up next: Midtown Pasifika Night!
