Forget the four-leaf clover, this year celebrate St. Patrick's Day like never before at Dans le Noir ? Auckland! Embark on an extraordinary culinary adventure where your taste buds and senses will be put to the test in complete darkness.

Aucklanders, do yourself a favour and get amongst at least one of the epic-sounding activities going on at this year’s Elemental AKL festival. 

I really, really love my local dinner spots and often return to those comforting, familiar flavours. However, the promise of my locals can be so alluring that venturing out leaves me a little apprehensive. The new and mysterious dining experience offered in the Millenium Hotel called Dans Le Noir might have resolved that hesitation.

Elemental AKL 2023 is announcing nine new inclusions in the festival that make this year’s edition of Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland’s festival of ‘arts, eats and beats’ bigger than ever before.

Running from July 20 until August 6, Tāmaki Makaurau will be filled with art, eats and beats – with eight new experiences announced. Dans le Noir has also been added to the line-up, a sensory dining experience where guests enjoy a delicious meal – in the dark.
