Te Ahurei Toi o Tāmaki Auckland Arts Festival
Te Ahurei Toi o Tāmaki Auckland Arts Festival celebrates world-leading international artists alongside our local world-class creatives, gracing some of the most cherished and iconic venues in our city — many for the first time. From unconventional birthday celebrations, incredible stories of the everyday and the unimaginable, to Indigenous voices and endless tent music jams, we invite you to join in the festivities. This celebration of our rich culture, of artists and their remarkable skills, of the indomitable human spirit, and of everything wonderful about Tāmaki Makaurau, whether experienced in the heart of the city’s arts scene or through our artists on tour, will aid in creating fun and lasting memories.
We are proud to partner with Performing Arts Network New Zealand (PANNZ) to welcome many national and international industry guests during the PANNZ Arts Market. In the Festival’s first week, leading arts practitioners from across Aotearoa will take centre stage, showcasing their work to the world.
During March 2025, you’ll see deep connections with our city’s arts community — many of whom we consider our whānau whānui, our extended family. To our supporters, artists and volunteers, thank you for making this Festival possible.
Me mihi ka tika ki te kāhui hāpai, ki ngā kaiwhakangahau, ki ngā tūao
hoki i ā koutou tautoko i te kaupapa whakahirahira nei. Whakanuia!
Together, let’s create unforgettable memories and revel
in the vibrant energy that defines Tāmaki Makaurau.
