The parade is confirmed to take place on Thursday 6 July starting at 12.30pm and making its way down Queen Street towards the waterfront. Please see the attached map for the parade route and recommended viewing points. Team NZ will then take to the water from the Viaduct Basin for a sail past (wahoo!), giving viewers a unique vantage point from which to welcome the team home.
The central city is expected to be very busy on the day of the parade with road closures and bus diversions. People attending the parade are advised to use public transport, to cycle or walk, as parking will be very limited. Get information on transport here.
Can't leave the sofa/office? The Welcome Home Parade will be broadcast free to air on TVNZ 1 and TV3. It will also be streamed on Newshub and 1newsnow.
Get key information about the parade including public transport and traffic updates. See you there!
