With over 23 activations and events, come along to listen to vinyl, dance to K-pop, eat ethnic, make zines, follow the Waihorotiu stream’s path, hear the history of the Strand Arcade, spin to win on the wheel of fortune, dance to live jazz under the neon lights, and find out just who was Martha?

Enjoy freebies from Italian soft serve to Japanese ramen and Korean meatballs. Auckland Council’s Midtown Regeneration programme is getting the area ready for Te Hā Noa and Te Waihorotiu Station. We know there has been construction disruption for the people of midtown, so as our new street design takes shape in Victoria Street, let the party begin!

Thanks to our partner ArtNow.NZ. ArtNow.NZ is an online platform showcasing the best contemporary art exhibitions, events, galleries, news, books, and art writing from across Aotearoa. Midtown Street Party is delivered by Auckland Council and supported by the city centre targeted rate.
