Auckland Heritage Festival 2024

You’re invited to discover the lands, people, and history of the Pacific at the 2024 Auckland Heritage Festival.

This year’s theme Moana Oceania – the great connector – links the Pacific nations to Tāmaki Makaurau. Explore and share stories, traditions and influences that have shaped Auckland’s identity while marking important anniversaries such as the 50th anniversary of the beginning of the dawn raids on Pacific people, and 50 years of Niue self-government.

With more than 130 free or low cost events on offer (including family-friendly activities for the school holidays), there’s something for everyone.
