Kingsland Festival

Well fiddle-dee-dee potatoes, the Kingsland Festival is on St Patrick’s Day this year. You don’t have to be Irish - even those with no trace of Irish ancestry can claim that right on 17th March ‘when the green is worn and the shamrock is wet’.

Kingsland Business Society sees the annual Kingsland Festival as a way to build community and family involvement, plus to showcase local businesses.

The fun starts at 2pm with the New North Rd car park as a Kids' Zone, including bouncy castle, ferris wheel, face-painters and treats to eat until 5pm.

Auckland’s grooviest handcrafts will be on sale at the monthly Crafternoon Tea market from 2-7pm at Trinity Church Hall - this isn’t your nana’s knitting we’re talking about!

Street performers and bands get underway at the rail plaza main stage from 5-10pm, with entertainment continuing inside venues including the Kingslander, Neighbourhood and Toro bars until late.
