Auckland Anniversary Day, established in 1842, commemorates the arrival of Lieutenant-Governor William Hobson in the Bay of Islands in 1840. His mission was to negotiate a Treaty with Māori Chiefs on behalf of the British Crown, the first step towards setting up a British colony in New Zealand. (waitangi.org.nz)
Today, it is best known for a regatta on the Waitematā Harbour.
We wish our community a relaxing Auckland Anniversary Day in the gorgeous Tāmaki Makaurau.
