Looking forward to a long weekend? The NZS.com team certainly are. Queen’s Birthday is celebrated is this Monday - but you may not know that it’s not actually her real birthday, the celebratory date changing of the monarch’s birthday is a long standing tradition amongst the British royal family. To get the full story on why the Queen has two birthdays, check out our Queen’s Birthday Holiday article.

What’s a better way to celebrate Queen’s Birthday this weekend than catching Priscilla, Queen of the Desert: The Musical live on stage! The classic Aussie road movie is brought to life (or shall we say, larger than life?) across the Tasman for 2 weeks only, now showing in Auckland until June 7. Tickets are available from Eventfinder.

Not interested? Enjoy the last public holiday of the season, for most New Zealanders we won’t get another one until Labour Day!
