Celebrate our rich tradition of brass bands and feel the commanding call of Scottish bagpipes echo around the Square.  

Enjoy the dynamic Papakura Pipe Band, proudly wearing the Gordon Tartan, alongside Auckland Live Morning Melodies favourites Base Auckland Brass and North Shore Brass Academy Community Band and other pipe bands of Auckland, delivering everything from ceremonial classics to contemporary tunes. 

Gather the whānau and revel in the rich sounds of pipers and brass in this true celebration of community. 

The full lineup and schedule will be dropping in January - stay tuned! 

Proudly supported by Auckland Council Events and the city centre targeted rate.
