Auckland will be the first city in the world to go green for St Patrick's Day.
The festival begins in the City of Sails this morning with a parade on Queen Street, and Irish bands, singers and dancers on the waterfront.
Irish Consul General Rodney Walsh is looking forward to
seeing the city's Sky Tower tonight.
"As it's the first tower in the world to turn green on the setting sun on St Patrick's day, as it goes green around the world, others will follow."
