Auckland's Lantern festival returns at new venue in Manukau after hiatus

Melanie Earley Reporter from Manukau Courier

Kia ora neighbours, after a three-year hiatus due to Covid restrictions, the Auckland Lantern Festival will return in February at a new venue.

The year of the rabbit will be celebrated across the four-day cultural festival, which will be moved to Manukau Sports Bowl for the first time since the festival began in 2000.

It was last held at the Auckland Domain in 2019, but that lease has expired. It was then planned for Auckland Showgrounds in February 2022 but was called off due to Covid.

The free event is the largest cultural festival in the region and will feature hundreds of handmade lanterns displayed throughout the park.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

Hi everyone just a warning that I think I got scammed today. Went in to buy an extension cord came out with 4 pillows 3 sheet sets. 6 new towels. A frying pan a toaster. A electric jug. Dinner plates knife fork and spoon set it seems like they put everything on special and made the lay out off the store so I had to walk past everything before I got to the product I went into buy.
