WE ARE BACK !
FAM is back for its first edition of 2026
— and we're taking over the street again!
Food, art, markets, music
— and all your favourite faces back on the road.
Beresford Square
returns as the heart of the action with your favourite market stalls back in full force —
handmade treasures, plants, art, homeware
and all the good stuff you didn’t know you needed.
For the first time, we are extending the goodness to Mercury Lane which will transforms into a vintage-forward treasure zone with op shops, secondhand gems and throwback finds!
Double the Market, double the Music!
Vinyls sets at Beresford with Scarlett, and Carlito
Fresh beats at Mercury Lane with Leon D and Bobby Brazuka
Stroll the road, support local, grab a bite, discover something new,
and settle into the rhythm of FAM for 2026.
Free, all ages, everyone welcome.
Proudly supported by Karangahape Business Association, Auckland Council and the city centre targeted rate.
FOOD. ART. MARKET.
— Every first Saturday of the month (except Jan+Feb), Karangahape Road comes alive with a streetwide celebration of our community.
From morning markets and family-friendly activations, to art tours, live music, and bites — FAM showcases the best of the strip in one vibrant day.
With Beresford Square now opened, expect this new central hub filled with music, stalls, and energy, alongside activations stretching across Pitt Street, St Kevins Arcade, and beyond.
Relive the magic of
FAM
