Bringing Auckland Together….

In the spirit of carnivals from around the world, the Auckland International Carnival is an event that brings Auckland together. People of all backgrounds, cultures and ages will celebrate what makes us unique in the city that has brought us together.

The Carnival aims to give Auckland communities an exciting, fun event to share creativity and values that make Auckland a great place to live.

The Carnival aims to attract more tourists and international carnival fans each year to attend and participate. Carnivals around the world attract tourists and develop many local employment opportunities as well as providing high quality entertainment.
