Family Events - ngā kaupapa ā-whānau

Get the family together

We're all about getting tamariki to take part in the arts so Auckland Live strives to host a wide range of events and shows perfect for families. Whether you are looking for an activity during the school holidays, a free community event, or something the whole family can enjoy together, you’ll find it here!

And if you’re heading along to an event, check out our Information for Parents for loads of helpful tips to make your visit comfortable and enjoyable.
