First Thursday of every month | 4:30pm – 9:00pm

First Thursdays is officially taking over Karangahape Road again on Thursday 6 August!⁠ ⁠ The street is coming alive with music, late-night shopping, street activations, and brand-new artist residencies taking over empty shopfronts. Plus, we’re going deep underground for an exclusive, one-night-only Vogue Ball presented by The Kiki House of IMAN inside the new Karanga-a-Hape Station before it opens to the public.⁠ ⁠ Mark your calendars, round up the crew, and get ready to hit the strip.⁠ ⁠

Celestial Corner markets celebrate independent makers, artists and creative small businesses. Our events are known for their welcoming atmosphere, thoughtful curation and strong sense of community. If this sounds like your kind of space, we’d love to have you. Find more information at www.celestialcorner.shop and on IG at @celestialcorner.shop DJs
