The Best Things To Do In Auckland This Easter Weekend
Catch A Movie In A Park
SATURDAY 20 APRIL
In the ultimate Easter spirit, Auckland Council Movies in Parks presents Peter Rabbit. The special grand finale of the season for Movies and Music in Parks will have two showings of the movie, the first at 1pm and the second at around 6pm, when the sun sets. Even better, these will also be captioned screenings for the deaf community. The sweet tale of Peter Rabbit is the ultimate feel-good watch that the whole fam will love. There are food stalls on site or bring along a blanket and picnic to enjoy as you watch the heart-warming film.
Go To The Department Store Easter Show
SATURDAY 20 APRIL
The Department Store in Takapuna is holding an Easter show and there is going to be baby bunnies. Enough said really. From 12pm – 2pm on Saturday and for a gold coin donation that will be going to the SPCA, you can have a cuddle with a baby bunny and get involved with some Easter egg fun.
Visit The Berba Harvest Celebration
SATURDAY 20, SUNDAY 21 AND MONDAY 22 APRIL
Solijans Estate Winery is hosting the traditional Berba harvest celebration this Easter weekend, in celebration of the Croatian Harvest Festival. There is grape-stomping, barrel rolling races, tastings, winery tours, folk dance, live music and more fun activities across the weekend. Head along to get a taste of the Croatian traditions and soak up all that’s on offer.
Take A Marathon Swim At St Heliers
SUNDAY 21 APRIL
The iconic event, ACM Marathon Swim, is back for another year this Easter Sunday. If you are feeling up for it, the swim is a great event to challenge yourself and your abilities. This year, the course starts at St Heliers Bay, before going around Browns Island, Motukorea, and back to St Heliers. The 10km swim starts at 8am but be sure to pre-register in advance. Also, note that each swimmer requires an individual kayak supporter in order to compete.
Go For A Walk
With an extra few days up our sleeve, Easter weekend is the perfect excuse to spend a day out in nature working up a sweat. We are blessed in Auckland to have an array of beautiful walks near and far. If you are keen to venture out of the city, there are plenty of hikes that you can spend the day enjoying. If you would rather stay central, Auckland also has many urban walks throughout the city to choose from. Either way, there is no excuse not to lace up, get outside and get moving.
