Downtown Days

Highlights include:

• A stellar music lineup featuring DJs and live performances from luminaries Julia Deans, Anna Coddington, Love Square, Captain Festus McBoyle, Spellodies, and Rewind Fields.
• Theatre innovators A Slightly Isolated Dog leading comedic tours of imagined (and maybe real?) waterfront futures
• The Recreators hosting upcycling workshops and inviting you to sketch your vision for the wharves.
• Barbarian Productions’ custom-built recording studio inside a giant egg, designed to capture your thoughts.
• Alongside the fun and festivities, Downtown Days is also your chance to learn about exciting plans to open up Auckland’s central wharves - Queens, Captain Cook, Marsden, and Hobson Wharf Extension - for more public use.

Be part of the conversation and help shape the future of our waterfront while soaking up music, theatre, creativity, and community spirit. Totally free and fun for all ages!
