Send us your name ideas for a festival that will weave more than 50 cultures together in a vibrant celebration for all who call Tāmaki Makaurau home.
“Our vision is for all Aucklanders to be proud of our multi-cultural city and feel a strong sense of belonging and understanding,” says David Burt, Manager of Events for Auckland Council.
The expanded festival will run from 19 to 28 March 2021, starting with nine days of activities in the region’s Arts and Community Centres and finishing with the big finale which is Auckland International Cultural Festival on Sunday 28 March.
Please submit your name idea on the festival Facebook page here.
