Get together this February
Summer in Auckland is a great time to get together with friends and whānau to enjoy an outdoor movie, explore a park or discover a hidden gem in your neighbourhood.
Throughout February, we’ll be sharing some of our favourite places to visit and things to do. Keep an eye on OurAuckland (and this page) to get inspired, then get together and make the most of everything our beautiful region has to offer.
Week 1: 1-7 February
Mix and mingle at events
Auckland Council sponsors, supports, facilitates, hosts and runs thousands of events across Auckland every year – from massive cultural festivals like Diwali and Waitangi Day celebrations to neighbourhood block parties, school holiday activities, art exhibitions and more.
Auckland is buzzing with things to do and we want you to enjoy it all.
Here are this week's event highlights to get together.
Gather in nature
It’s hard to think of a more geographically diverse region than Auckland. Whether it’s our rugged black-sand surf beaches, dense native forest, rolling green pastures or urban city centres, there’s so much to do and see right in our backyard.
And there's no better time to get into nature than summer. So, fire up a BBQ in one of our parks or check out these great ideas for getting a bit of nature in your life.
Explore your community
Summer is a time when we reconnect to our community. From museums, theatres, art galleries, libraries, community centres, pools and history-rich urban villages, Auckland offers a wide range of opportunities for people to meet, connect, learn, participate in and enjoy community life. It's all about bringing people together and creating strong communities.
