Auckland's Lantern festival returns at new venue in Manukau after hiatus
Kia ora neighbours, after a three-year hiatus due to Covid restrictions, the Auckland Lantern Festival will return in February at a new venue.
The year of the rabbit will be celebrated across the four-day cultural festival, which will be moved to Manukau Sports Bowl for the first time since the festival began in 2000.
It was last held at the Auckland Domain in 2019, but that lease has expired. It was then planned for Auckland Showgrounds in February 2022 but was called off due to Covid.
The free event is the largest cultural festival in the region and will feature hundreds of handmade lanterns displayed throughout the park.
