Auckland Heritage Festival 2026
26 September - 11 October
This year’s theme, Tastes of Tāmaki: A Heritage Feast, centres our celebrations on the history and heritage of food and beverage in Auckland. Food is a universal language that tells rich stories of migration, resilience, innovation, and manaakitanga (hospitality). It connects us to our past and reflects who we are today.
With plenty of free or low-cost activities to choose from, including family-friendly school holiday events, there’s something for everyone.
