Sandringham Street Festival 2025
Sandringham’s Street Festival is back in early November this year and it's going to be a huge!
We invite anyone from around Auckland to come and experience a free-wheeling taste of famous Sandringham! Try new foods, check out the amazing flavours coming from our shops, and enjoy different cultures and music in the Reserve and side streets.
There’ll be food trucks, new food from around the world (& some old favourites!), retail and trading stalls, amusement rides, and competitions. In the morning we'll have schools, community groups and bands performing on stage in the Sandringham Reserve, then the Pipi Pickers, Hoop and the Elementary Penguins are there to keep you entertained in the afternoon!
Buskers, competitions, community groups, plenty of fun and games for kids, and heaps of delicious food and drinks for everyone!
Thanks heaps to the Albert-Eden Local Board for the funding to help make this event happen each year!

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
-
77.1% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
22.9% No. This would be impossible in practice.
