2021 PROGRAM
The lockdown and uncertainty in alert level changes in Auckland has had a real impact on this years program but cancelling our event has never once crossed our mind! Even though our program is a little lighter than previous years we've curated a variety of events and activities that still allow our audience to engage and participate in a safe way in-person (according to government guidelines) and online.
Whether it's in the physical or digital space, we hope you can join us!
Please remember if you're feeling sick please stay at home.
