The Night Mayors are Tāmaki’s underground and underrated, making Auckland a place more people want to stay. It’s a forum to hear how cultural icons of the city actually live, their biggest gripes, and their best ideas for Auckland, plus if they were running for Mayor, what their platform would be.
The evening will be moderated by the incredible Charlotte Ryan.
