Auckland’s beloved pink path Te Ara i Whiti turns three, and there is a block party with bells on to celebrate!
The second annual Lightpath Festival is a free, family-friendly evening celebrating this iconic addition to our city and the joy of people-friendly streets.
Come and experience the city by night with entertainers, music, art, food, and bike fun along Lightpath/Te Ara i Whiti and Canada St, just off K Rd. Festival-goers are encouraged to leave the car at home and explore on foot and by wheels.
