The festival celebrates the distinct and unique characteristics of Auckland and its particular Pacific style. Its main objectives are to engage Aucklanders in the arts, to support New Zealand art and artists, and to reflect what is unique about Auckland | Tāmaki Makaurau.<ref name="About Us?">{{cite web|title=About Us |publisher=Auckland Festival 2007 |year=2007 |url=http://www.aucklandfestival.co.nz/AboutUs/TheFestival/ |accessdate=2008-05-15 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070720222937/http://www.aucklandfestival.co.nz/AboutUs/TheFestival/ |archivedate=July 20, 2007 }}</ref>
Its program features more than 100 events including [[dance]], [[music]], [[cabaret]], [[burlesque]], [[theatre]], [[ballet]], [[visual arts]], [[film]], and public forums, occupying most of Auckland's theatres, galleries and concert halls. In 2007 a dedicated music and cabaret environment (“Red Square”) was created, which serves as a hub where artists and public gather during the festival, day and night. In 2011 'Red Square' was re-branded as the Festival Garden and a new program element, White Night, modeled on Europe's '[[Nuit Blanche]]' events, was introduced - the first such event in Australasia.
