The Auckland Heritage Festival website is now live with the event listings for this year.

This year’s theme Moana Oceania – the great connector – links the Pacific nations to Tāmaki Makaurau. Explore and share stories, traditions and influences that have shaped Auckland’s identity while marking important anniversaries such as the 50th anniversary of the beginning of the dawn raids on Pacific people, and 50 years of Niue self-government.

There are more than 130 free or low cost events on offer.

CTA’s event, a tour of the St James Theatre, is listed here.
