The getting back to fun... has begun!
Uptown is proud to release the brand new Dining Guide; a guide to eating and socialising around Uptown.
With 50,000 copies printed and distributed around Uptown and wider Auckland, this 68 page booklet will tell you everywhere you need to visit in the neighbourhood for delicious food, drinks, and great spots for meeting friends. In addition to supporting Uptown hospitality businesses, it reinforces that Uptown is a vibrant, dynamic place to be.
Uptown thanks the Link Alliance/City Rail Link for their support in producing the guide.
Pick up your copy from a local Uptown business. Also make sure you have a look out for the street posters and billboards around the neighbourhood that are supporting the campaign.
We're looking forward to a fresh start

Video & Photo: Dawid Wisniewski On Saturday, locals and visitors came together for a sun-soaked, laid-back afternoon filled with music, markets, performances, workshops, and plenty of good vibes. The day marked the first event in the Basque Park Summer Series , brought to life by Uptown business Anya Vitali Creative Services and local Celia Ruane , whose passion for community and creativity transformed the park into a lively hub for connection and fun. From the natural amphitheatre to the winding paths and shady trees, Basque Park came alive with neighbours, furry friends, and whānau enjoying the eclectic mix of performances and activities. Summer is just beginning and we can’t wait to see everyone back at Basque Park for the next events - so grab your picnic blanket, bring your whānau, and soak up the Uptown vibes!
Basque Park Summer Series, Free Community Event, Saturday 13 December, 11am-3pm.
