Sky Tower lights for St Patrick’s Day

Tomorrow, the Sky Tower will be lit in green to celebrate St Patrick’s Day, continuing a long-standing tradition that has become part of Auckland’s skyline each March.

For 17 years, the Sky Tower has joined landmarks around the world in “go green” for St Patrick’s Day, making it one of the longest-running landmarks in the world to illuminate. 

The annual lighting is part of a global celebration of Irish culture and heritage, recognised in cities across Europe, North America, Asia, and the Pacific.
