As part of our 150th anniversary celebrations and to mark the beginning of grad week, UC is holding a special street parade in Ōtautahi Christchurch.  

Come join us and bring your friends and whānau along to cheer on our graduates as they process through the central city – the more the merrier.  

This is an awesome opportunity for you to celebrate with your peers and join the festivities at the end of the parade. 

When: Tuesday 4 April, 10am 

Where: Hack Circle, corner High and Cashel streets 

The procession, led by the New Zealand Army Band, will start at Hack Circle and process along Cashel Street, Oxford Terrace and end at Victoria Square where Ōtautahi Christchurch Mayor Phil Mauger will deliver a speech, and Tumu Tuarua Kaunihera I Pro-Chancellor Shayne Te Aika will toast our graduates.  It will be a festive atmosphere and additional refreshments for purchase will be available from food trucks at Victoria Square.

See you there!
