Auckland’s Awesome Autumn Weekend

Prepare for an exhilarating weekend filled with an array of events and entertainment both on stage, on the field, and on and off the water as autumn is underway in Tāmaki Makaurau.

From the electrifying performances of superstar artist P!NK to the vibrant celebration of Pasifika culture, and some Warriors magic to the famous kiwi past-time of manus, there's something for everyone to enjoy.

Experience the Pasifika Festival, showcasing Pacific diversity through live cultural performances, film, arts and crafts, food, fashion, and more at Western Springs. Villages from Aotearoa, Cook Islands, Hawaii, Fiji, Tokelau, Niue, Samoa and Tonga representing 11 Pacific nations will celebrate language and identity.

Moana Auckland – New Zealand’s Ocean Festival - continues to offer a rich tapestry of storytelling and immersive experiences with a series of events. At the heart of Moana Auckland is the Festival Hub at Te Wero Island in the Viaduct, open from 1600 on a Friday until 2000 on a Sunday. Check out this weekend’s entertainment line-up HERE.

Whatever your plans, make sure you round up your friends and whānau and get along to these events.
