First Thursdays

First Thursdays on Karangahape Road presents a vibrant local music and visual art exhibition, bringing together Antidawn, Port Dubs Collective, Support Your Local Collective, Phys.Ed, PDDCK, and friends.

This community-focused event offers a space for social connection beyond loud clubs, featuring Tāmaki producers playing 100% original tracks on a finely tuned Pekapeka sound system. The Button Factory hosts this cozy event, complete with couches, plants, daylight, and a talking-friendly volume. Explore rare records, swap or sell music, browse art, and enjoy non-alcoholic drinks and pies. Bring cash for market tables, and immerse yourself in local talent and creativity.
