Songkran festival, celebrating Thai New Year right here in Auckland!
Start the day with a peaceful Buddhist ceremony and take part in merit-making to bring in good vibes. Then, honour our elders with the traditional water-pouring ceremony and enjoy a lineup of Thai performances, including music, dance, and folklore.
Live cooking demonstration: You’ll learn how to make delicious Thai dishes, like the famous Tom Yum Kung, recently recognized as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2024.
Our talented Thai chefs will guide you step-by-step in preparing popular Thai dishes, and best of all, you can sample the dishes for free!
This festival is all about celebrating tradition, sharing cultures, and having fun together. Share the Thai traditions, values, and festivities of Songkran with the Auckland community. Encourage understanding and appreciation of diverse traditions of New Zealand.
