Kia ora,
It may be a new year, but it's the same Your Waterfront with a packed summer schedule for you to enjoy.
This January, two more Silo Cinema sessions will take place, and there will be an interactive iSpy installation dotted across the waterfront for you to try your hand eye at.
On Queens Wharf a number of interactive activities and workshops are planned, all free, and varied so there will be something to suit everyone's interests.
Read on to find out more about what's planned, and start filling up the pages in that new 2023 diary of yours!

The Your Waterfront Team
Flugtag takes off in Wynyard Quarter
Congratulations to all participants of this year's Red Bull Flugtag that took place on 10 December in Wynyard Quarter. Especially the winning team 'Red Barron and Snoopy' who impressed the judges and crowds by flying a fantastic 47 metres!
Some teams weren't as successful with executing their flight plan, and as Woody from Toy Story would have put it, "That wasn't flying, that was falling with style", but regardless they sure made up for their lack of distance by providing miles of entertainment.
Watch some of the highlights captured by NZ Herald below:
