New Zealand\u2019s first Ocean Festival is hitting Auckland\u2019s waters next year.\xa0

Moana Auckland is set to launch on February 24th 2024, lasting a full thirty days as summer comes to an end.\xa0

The festival is set to feature the Auckland Boat Show, Z Manu World Champs, the New Zealand Millennium\xa0Cup superyacht regatta, and more. \xa0

Chris Simpson, Auckland Unlimited\u2019s Head of Major Events, told Mike Hosking that while there are new events, some of these events have been running in isolation for some time.\xa0

He said that bundling them together and creating an overarching Moana Auckland brand creates a platform the marine sector can use to promote the industry.\xa0
