Auckland Council’s FREE Music in Parks is back in 2026.
In January and February, soak up the sun with live music from some of the best talent Tāmaki Makaurau has to offer. Pack a picnic rug, water, sunblock and hat, and head along to enjoy multiple nights of diverse musical genres at four dedicated live-music hubs: North (Milford Beach), South (Auckland Botanic Gardens), East (Lloyd Elsmore Park) and Central (Domain Band Rotunda). Plus, several one-off events popping up in other locations. There’s something for everyone, so start planning your summer with friends and whānau now.
Remember Music in Parks events are FREE to attend - no tickets required. Follow our Facebook page to get the latest updates and ways to make the most of each event.
