Auckland Live Summer in the Square

Your favourite summer hangout is back and taking over Aotea Square this February. Get ready for an action-packed month of summer vibes and a plethora of FREE live performing arts experiences.

Sashay into the first weekend of Auckland Live Summer in the Square with the return of the ever-popular Auckland Latin Fiesta (Fri 31 Jan – Sun 2 Feb), celebrate the vibrant and diverse culture of the African diaspora as it comes to life at AfroFest (Sat 8 Feb), are you down for a game of Majong? Karaoke? Well, you don't want to miss Lunar New Year in Aotea Square (Sun 9 Feb), then mellow down with some groovy beats with our first ever summer jazz weekend at Somethin’ Else (Sat 15 – Sun 16 Feb), and then enjoy an enchanting pop-up performance by 2024 Silver Scroll Award winner Anna Coddington as part of Music in Parks (Thu 20 Feb).

For the final weekend, Sky Pirates All Stars are bringing us their unique 5v5 basketball action (including a MASSIVE custom-built court in Aotea Square!), dance battles, urban beats and more (Sat 22 Feb), and then we’re bringing all the fun to Whānau Day with theatre performances, a line-dancing workshop and a live recording of the 95bFM Kids Show (Sun 23 Feb).

While you’re here, check out the globally acclaimed, empowering sculpture series Chubby Women which embraces all body types by Xu Hongfei (Fri 25 Jan – Sun 16 Feb).

So, what are you waiting for? Gather your friends and whānau for the ultimate summer vibe right here in the centre of Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland. And the best part, it’s all FREE!
