The opening ceremony of the village dedicated to the America’s Cup took place on the 15th of December, which started the events and the regattas of the austral summer: the PRADA America’s Cup World Series Auckland and the PRADA Christmas Race (17-20 December), the PRADA Cup (January 15-February 22), and the Final Match of the 36th America’s Cup (March 6-21). The ceremony began with the traditional Dawn, the blessing in Maori rite conducted by the Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei tribe at the end of which, the Maoris and guests, walked together through the village. The space, located on Te Wero Island, is the result of a great collaboration between Prada and COR36.
