🟠 Lounge Stage is serving up pure magic this First Thursdays! We’ve got a lineup that’ll have you vibing, grooving, and feeling the festive spirit all evening! Kicking off at 5PM, Northern Line’s birthday bash brings a crew of legends with dān dān, Screaming Seagulls, and Murdur Wun — absolute units. It’s your chance to sing, laugh, and have a drink. From 7PM, things get weird and wonderful with Peter Baecker. Think silver spandex, neon dreams, and an 80s Christmas dance party that’ll make your jaw drop and your feet move. Spandex optional, but dancing? Not. 📍 Be there (or be square) - Top of Pitt Street, 6 Beresford Square. #kroadnz #firstthursdays #kirihimete

🚇 The Future of K’ Road is around the corner! 🚇 After nearly five years of hard work, Karanga-a-Hape Station is set to transform the way we experience K’ Road. With platforms 33 metres underground and urban upgrades to the streetscape around Mercury Lane and Beresford Square, this station will soon become a central point of movement and culture. The design, influenced by local iwi artist Reuben Kirkwood and mana whenua, celebrates both Aotearoa’s rich history and its bright future. From sky elements symbolising Tāne Mahuta to a station surrounded by light-filled plazas, Karanga-a-Hape is a space designed to reflect our community’s unique spirit. Shout out to the legends at @cityraillink for not only reshaping the area but also supporting our K’ Road events, like First Thursdays, throughout this journey. 🙌 While we’re sad to say goodbye to Pocket Park, the excitement builds for what Beresford Square will become — a hub for our community to come together. Check out the renders in this post for a sneak peek of what’s to come. Get ready K’ Road — rail is coming uptown, and the future looks bright! ✨ #KRoad #KarangahapeStation #CityRailLink #LinkAlliance #Community

✨ Congrats to our K’ Road finalists! Massive shoutout to Apéro, Bar Magda, Candela, Gemmayze Street, and Pici for being named in Metro’s Top 50 Restaurants of the Year 2024!

All five restaurants are now in the running for the supreme Restaurant of the Year award, which will be announced at the grand event on Monday, October 14th, along with other top categories like Best Chef, Best Dish, and more! Here’s to every restaurant and venue that lights up K’ Road — you’re the heart and soul of our vibrant community!

This year’s theme is 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗸𝗶 𝗧𝗶𝗿𝗼 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝗸𝗮𝗺𝘂𝗮 / 𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲, which celebrates the staunchly progressive spirit of Karangahape Road, a thoroughfare of free-thinkers and a hotbed for innovation and growth. We give thanks for the many cultures, communities and characters that make this street unique, and together, we look forward to the promise of the year ahead. The K’ Road Business Association is working with a team of local creatives to curate a full and fabulous programme of live music, art, food, fashion, performances, markets and workshops.
