    Auckland Arts Festival

    The 2013 Auckland Arts Festival (6-24 March) will be Auckland's sixth Arts Festival, a biennial event that has become a firmly established part of the Australasian and International arts and cultural calendar. The Festival will again present outstanding work from many of New Zealand's foremost artists, and international work never before seen in this country, across theatre, music, dance and the visual arts. There is also an array of free events for the whole family to enjoy .

    Over the past five festivals, the Auckland Arts Festival has built a reputation for presenting top quality work from around the world, which would otherwise not be seen in Auckland. Highlights include the marvellous 2011 Smoke and Mirrors cabaret show and the unique Manganiyar Seduction from the deserts of India. 2007 display from pyrotechnic artists Group F, the 2009 theatrical masterworks by Japanese company Ishinha, and the legendary Robert Lepage's company Ex Machina, sell-out cabaret sensations La Clique in both 2007 and 2009, and many more.
