The Auckland Town Hall The Civic Theatre with the Sky Tower in the background Lighting on the Auckland Town Hall has been colourfully tweaked as has the exterior of the nearby Civic Theatre. The new spaghetti junction elevated cycleway has been illuminated in rainbow colours as has the Sky Tower. The Skycity Convention Centre at the tower's base is the venue for tomorrow night's gala event marking the 30th anniversary, which follows on from one held at Parliament earlier this week. Several people have reported seeing more rainbow flags than usual around Auckland and one very prominent flag is flying over the front entrance to the Fletcher Construction head office in Penrose.
