Anzac Day services 2026

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.

More than 80 parades and services will be held throughout Tāmaki Makaurau, offering Aucklanders many opportunities to commemorate alongside friends, whānau and their own communities.

For East Auckland, we have the traditional Dawn Service at 6am and Civic Service at 11am, both on Stockade Hill. Proudly funded by the Howick Local Board and organised by the Howick RSA.

After the Civic Service, there will be a parade that marches through Howick Village via Ridge Road then to Picton Street and Moore Street and into the civic carpark behind Hancock’s Cafe.
