Summer on Queens Wharf returns for 2025!

Soak in the sunshine and celebrate the season with Summer on Queens Wharf 2025, returning with a vibrant programme of free performances, events and activities by the moana.

The all-ages programme, an initiative supported by Eke Panuku Development Auckland, Interesting Things and Moana Festival Auckland, runs from January to March 2025 and features an exciting mix of returning favourites and brand-new experiences.

Mermaid Parade

Following a swashbuckling debut in 2024, the Mermaid Parade is back! Fish-folk, merpeople, clams, and nautical navigators of all ages are invited to don their best ocean-inspired looks and parade along the waterfront of Tāmaki Makaurau. A celebration of creativity, community and the sea, this whimsical event promises waves of fun for everyone.

All activities are free and open to all ages. Visit the Facebook event page for updates, performance schedules, and free ticket registration details.

The Summer on Queens Wharf 2025 programme is made possible thanks to Eke Panuku Development Auckland with support from Interesting Things Aotearoa and Moana Auckland.
