Flags will adorn Warkworth’s main streets from July 1 to celebrate the launch of Elemental AKL – the first month-long festival of its kind aiming to transform Auckland into a “stunning creative canvas”.
More than 40 events in public places, theatres and hotels will participate in Elemental AKL including the Mahurangi Winter Festival of Lights.
About 40 Elemental AKL flags will adorn lamp posts in Elizabeth, Queen, Baxter, Percy and Neville Streets.
Meanwhile, the Festival of Lights promises to be an even bigger spectacle this year than the inaugural event in 2018.
This year’s event features a new parade on July 19 featuring an illuminated police car, floats, trucks, bikes, scooters and even beds on wheels.
The parade will assemble on Warkworth’s Baxter Street and continue down Queen Street. It will end in the illuminated Wharf area where colour washes of light will play over the water and nearby trees.
The fun will continue on July 20 in Baxter Street with a laser light show, ice-skating, snow and a cannon spewing foam for kids to play in.
