Solstice by Commercial Bay
24 – 27 September 2026
Spring is on its way, and Solstice is back at Commercial Bay.
From Thursday 24 to Sunday 27 September, the precinct comes alive with four days of fashion, music, food and entertainment, bringing new-season style and the energy of Auckland into the heart of the city.
At the centre of it all are two free open-air runway shows, taking over Commercial Bay’s ground-level laneway. Styled by leading New Zealand creative Sammy Salsa and soundtracked live by legendary DJ P Money, the shows will showcase new-season collections from leading local and international brands.
Beyond the runway, expect plenty more across the precinct, from new-season fashion and exclusive experiences to dining and live entertainment. Whether you're here for the shows, discovering what's new for spring or simply making an afternoon or evening of it, Solstice is your invitation to step into the new season.
