Karangahape Road, affectionately known as “K' Road”, is Auckland's creative hub for alternative arts & events, unique hospitality and independent retailers.

This culturally distinctive area is centered by community and imaginative support systems for diversity, talent, collaboration, interdisciplinary practices and innovation. Karangahape Road is New Zealand’s only 24/7 street - a place that never sleeps.
