Anzac Day Parades & Services 2022 in Auckland
Anzac Day is a time to reflect on the servicemen and servicewomen, past and present, who have displayed courage and self-sacrifice serving our country.
The number of in-person services and ceremonies across the region is reduced as a result of the red-light setting when planning was undertaken.
Popular services at Waikumete and Browns Bay have been cancelled for this year, while the dawn service at the Auckland War Memorial Museum is not open to the public.
There are still many ways for all Aucklanders to honour the military veterans they know, by commemorating at home or in the community.
Check below for details of any parades and services across the region, as well as online events to commemorate Anzac Day on Monday 25 April 2022.
Please note: This list only includes services of which the council has been notified. People are encouraged to also check with their local RSA or community Facebook pages.
