As a part of the Mermaid Parade, together with the Moana Festival, we cooked up an epic lineup of performers and talent. Starting with a Mermaidification Station at Queens Wharf, the Mermaid Parade shimmied, sashayed, and paraded across the waterfront, ending up at Te Wero Island, which came alive with colour, scales, barnacles, and tridents.

Auckland's own Anita Wigl’it dazzled the crowd in a sparkly, fishy gown, welcoming the parade to the Moana Mainstage and presiding over the costume contest - celebrating all the hard-working mer-crafters and inviting them to show off their home-made looks 🎤🧜‍♀️

Following an epic dance-off, the grand prize went to one of our tiniest Mer-folk, who sat atop a silver throne, holding her trident of glory. Then came whimsical acts from The Dust Palace, and lively sets from Fathe and the Sweetos, Mermaid Bait, Wellington Sea Shanty Society, and DJ Matthew Crawley.
It was a rainbow of humans - we couldn’t have asked for a more vibrant gathering! 🌈🏝️

The Mermaid Parade was a part of the annual Summer on Queens Wharf programme, made possible thanks to Eke Panuku Development Auckland and Moana Auckland.
