Queen's Birthday
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!
