This Weekend + Next Week in Auckland

Markets, DJs, James Bond, and a fight night in Ōtara. Pick your poison.​

Kia ora!

I swear Auckland’s trying to cancel fun right now with this weather. Loads of cool stuff got delayed or straight-up cancelled. Still, I went digging through the internet trenches and pulled together the best of what’s actually happening this weekend and next week. It’s not the busiest or craziest issue ever, but there are some hidden gems you most likely didn’t know about.

Next Friday’s issue though? It’s gonna be a banger. There’s some seriously cool stuff coming up.

(Unless we get hit by a tornado or something. In which case stay inside lol.)

Enjoy this week’s issue 🥯
