Harcourts partners with the Auckland Diwali and Lantern festivals

Harcourts is proud to announce we are the major partner to the Auckland Lantern and Diwali festivals in 2018, 2019 and 2020.

Harcourts CEO Chris Kennedy says it’s a three-year commitment to two iconic Auckland events.

“Diwali and the Lantern Festival are joyful celebrations of the cultural diversity that makes Auckland the amazing city it is.

“Our Auckland, Whangarei and Bay of Islands franchise owners have banded together to sponsor the events and we couldn’t be happier to announce our partnership.”

Kennedy says Harcourts is proudly multi-cultural, represented by 2,500 sales consultants in New Zealand from a diverse range of backgrounds.

“Celebrating diversity, what makes us unique and what brings us together, is at the core of our Harcourts’ value of ‘People First’. That’s why this partnership is so important to us.”

The 2018 Auckland Lantern Festival takes place from Thursday 1 – Sunday 4 of March at the Auckland Domain, where the city will welcome in the Year of the Dog.

The Auckland Diwali Festival, or festival of light, will take place over two days in Aotea Square in October 2018.

Both Auckland Lantern and Diwali festivals are run by Auckland Tourism, Events and Economic Development (ATEED).

Highlights of the Auckland Lantern Festival include the spectacular illumination of hundreds of handmade Chinese lanterns, a street full of stalls selling delicious Asian delicacies and crafts and stunning performances of traditional and contemporary Chinese culture.

Tens of thousands of Aucklanders of all ages turn out each year for the Auckland Diwali Festival, which is a chance to enjoy and experience traditional and contemporary Indian culture.
