The organisers of WMG2017 have announced Queens Wharf as the social hub of the games, which features a diverse entertainment programme for participants and the public, stretching from arts and cultural displays, to food and wine, to comedy and music.
Chief Executive of WMG2017, Jennah Wootten said that the festival is a huge part of every World Masters Games.
“Athletes come to compete on a world stage against their peers, but they also want to party, to soak up the vibe of the host city, and meet their fellow participants along the way,” she said.
“Queens Wharf will be the hub of the Games for both competitors and the public. We hope the combination of arts, performance, food and culture will showcase Auckland at its best and build a sense of belonging to the whole city,” Wootten added
WMG2017 is working in conjunction with Auckland Arts Festival and multi-instrumentalist, singer/songwriter, composer, actor, performer, director and producer Tama Waipara, who is responsible for shaping the programme for the Queens Wharf Entertainment Hub.
Waipara stated that Queens Wharf would be about celebrating a group of people coming together to do something exceptional.
“This is a chance to show off our city so we’ll include any and every flavour of the city we can pack into it – from the physical location to the people and what they can do,” he said.
The festivities on the wharf would begin with a weekend of welcome from April 22 and conclude with the Games Closing Ceremony on April 30, 2017.
