Kia
Ora We hope you’ve had a great time at our big backyard party in
Aotea Square over December and January. With the final month of summer just around the corner we still have plenty more live music, theatre and dance for you to enjoy.
In February, there will be everything from classical music by the APO Young Achievers to metal in te reo Māori, tips and tricks to pick up at gardening workshops, games and shows the whole family can enjoy, and much more.
Grab a drink before a show at our bar in Aotea Square, and celebrate as Auckland Fringe comes back to the arts precinct.
We’d love to hear your thoughts about Auckland Live Summer in the Square. Tell us what you enjoyed or what you’d like to see in Aotea Square, by emailing us at [email protected]. Karere whakatau

Hei tēnei marama he nui ngā hua ka hora, mai i te pūoru inamata a te Kāhui Whetū Maiangi o APO ki te pūoru mētara reo Māori, ā, tae atu hoki ki ētahi kēmu me ētahi tohutohu āwhina i ngā awheawhe māra, ki ētahi whakaaturanga hei whakangahau i te whānau whānui, ā, me te maha noa atu.
Tonoa he inu tōmua i tētahi whakaaturanga i te takiwā, inā rā, ko te Taiopenga Tua-Auraki o Tāmaki ka tau anō ki te papa o Aotea, tae rā anō ki te tatūnga mai o te Taiopenga Toi o Tāmaki.
