Sky Tower glows for Independence Day

Tonight the Sky Tower will glow red, white and blue to celebrate the 4th July, America’s Independence Day, alongside the many Americans living and travelling in New Zealand.

The Sky Tower is the southern hemisphere’s tallest man-made structure based in the heart of Auckland, and is one of New Zealand’s most recognisable landmarks.

SKYCITY lights the Sky Tower for charities or community initiatives that we support financially, to mark national holidays, milestones or other celebrations or events, or as a symbol of respect or solidarity.
