==History==
The first Auckland Festival of the Arts was held in 1953, prior to that had been four annual music festivals. A bigger festival was planned due to [[Elizabeth II|Queen Elizabeth II’s]] coronation. The festival continued annually until the 1980s and the last one was in 1982. [[Auckland City Council]] supported a festival to be reinstated in 2000.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Hill|first=Marguerite|date=5 Aug 2016|title=Celebrations and centenaries, 1930s to 1950s|url=https://teara.govt.nz/en/arts-festivals/page-2|url-status=live|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2021-02-02|website=Te Ara - the Encyclopedia of New Zealand|publisher=New Zealand Ministry for Culture and Heritage Te Manatu Taonga|language=en}}</ref><ref name="Without art, what is your city?">{{cite web
Auckland was the first city in the Asia Pacific to have a large festival, which it hosted from 1948 to 1982. Almost 20 years later, in 2000, Auckland City Council reinvented the festival, based on the premise that Auckland is a rich, dynamic, and diverse city. [[Auckland City Council]] voted to support the establishment of a unique arts and cultural festival for Auckland celebrating its position in the Pacific.<ref name="Without art, what is your city?">{{cite web
