Lunar New Year in Aotea Square

Auckland Live Summer in the Square

Get ready to ignite your senses as Lunar New Year is taking over Aotea Square as part of Auckland Live Summer in the Square.

Immerse yourself in a vibrant fusion of colours, sounds, tastes and beats from across the pan-Asian communities of Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland. Tuck into delicious bites, exploring the plethora of Asian cuisine across the city centre.

Don’t forget to get amongst the inaugural Bao and Boba promotions – be sure to vote for your top shop and be in to WIN and check out dance battles, craft stalls, have a go at a spot of karaoke and mahjong in a series of tournaments throughout the day.

Plus, keep an eye out for the giant three-metre high Lucky Cat on the Auckland Town Hall wishing you fortune and prosperity for the future.
