Press Release – Auckland Unlimited
Record numbers of fans showed up this weekend to support the first weekend of the 36th America’s Cup Match – with 48,000 in the Race Village on Saturday alone.
The Waitematā Harbour was also busier than during December racing or the Challenger series. Approximately 1,100 vessels headed out on the water for Friday afternoon’s matchups, 1,500 boats headed out on Saturday and 1,300 on Sunday.
Steve Armitage, Auckland Unlimited General Manager Destination says Friday’s midday shift to Level 1 was welcome news not only for the Cup, but for businesses and event organisers in Auckland.
“The atmosphere was incredible this weekend, not only in the Race Village and out on the water, but in businesses and at Summernova festival sites around Auckland,” says Armitage.
