Tāmaki Makaurau promises to keep you entertained whatever your preference.
With late summer evenings there is plenty of time after work to get out and enjoy all the Auckland has to offer. To help inspire and delight, here are some highlights to get excited about.
Music in Parks
Auckland Council’s free summer concert series is back for its 45th season and promises to have you dancing all afternoon or evening long. The season continues with fantastic events including the Kiwi Anthems mid-March and a great celebration of Pacific talent with Music in Parks Favona near the end of the month.
With a concert or two on every weekend, there is something to get you into the groove whatever your musical taste.
Check out the full season line-up on the Music in Parks website.
Movies in Parks
Chilled out evening entertainment for the whole whānau is covered with the Movies in Parks season. Grab a picnic or grab a bite onsite and settle into the beach chair or lounge out on the rug as the sun goes down and the stars come out.
From animated kids flicks to recent blockbusters, there is a bit of Hollywood magic available in parks across the region. Make sure to get to your favourite movie early as there will be pre-show entertainment to enjoy.
Check out the full programme of films on the Movies in Parks website.
