Two of Aucklandâs biggest festivals will add to an exciting summer of events on the cityâs waterfront at Ports of Auckland.
For this first time, Captain Cook and Marsden Wharves will host the Auckland Lantern Festival, one of the largest cultural festivals in New Zealand in February. A month earlier, Captain Cook Wharf will host the TÄmaki Herenga Waka Festival, a 12-hour extravaganza delivered in partnership with Mana Whenua.
Both events are delivered by Auckland Unlimited, the regionâs cultural and economic agency, on behalf of Auckland Council.
Auckland Mayor Phil Goff is looking forward to both festivals and says the waterfront will be a fantastic venue.

The Maritime Union says skilled New Zealand workers are being turned down for jobs at the Ports of Auckland.
Ports of Auckland Limited CEO Tony Gibson has told media that there are no New Zealand workers available for key jobs including crane and straddle drivers.
