Rainbowgate Parnell

Looking for things to do in Auckland this winter? For the month of July, Heard Park Parnell is the space to be to enjoy Rainbowgate, a never before seen light installation specifically designed to artistically celebrate diversity and unity and to inspire awe, wonder and conscious change through large scale immersive experiences.

Not only new to Auckland, but new to New Zealand, we hope this magical light installation encourages families, friends, partners and locals to take a moment in Heard Park this July. Whether it be to enjoy a coffee during the day, a ‘date spot’ as day turns to night, a quiet place to meditate, a space to share some magic with the kids before you tuck them into bed, to wander through on your way to your favourite Parnell hospitality offering, or just for a photo opportunity that will absolutely make your Instagram feed the envy of others!

A rainbow's ability to bring joy to just about anyone is probably why they're painted on kids' cheeks at fairs, why they're used to decorate birthday cakes, why they're mentioned in lyrics and poems and why both current cultures and cultures of the ages all have some mystical ‘rainbow myth’ that extends outside of the science of a rainbow and into the hopeful unknown.

Now more than ever, we are living in a world that needs hope so with our hands up for Parnell, we hope you’ll interact with, and enjoy Rainbowgate. See you in Heard Park this July.
