One star · One secret · One very big surprise
Mystery star unveiling
Something that has never happened before on the New Zealand Walk of Fame is about to happen. On 25 November at 10:00am, a very special star will be unveiled on Orewa Boulevard — and there's something extraordinary about this one.
The person receiving the star has no idea. Not a clue. Not a hint. Not even a whisper. They won't know their name is about to be revealed until the moment the curtain comes down.
We're not able to tell you who it is, and we certainly can't spoil the surprise. But we can tell you this: it's going to be a moment to remember — a celebration of someone truly special. Bring the family. Bring your friends. Bring your camera.

What is the New Zealand Walk of Fame?
New Zealand has produced some extraordinary entertainers. From singers and musicians to television personalities, actors, broadcasters, magicians and performers, the New Zealand Walk of Fame celebrates the people who have entertained generations of Kiwis and helped put New Zealand (Aotearoa) talent on the world stage.
Located on Orewa Boulevard on Auckland’s Hibiscus Coast, the Walk is a free public attraction where visitors can literally walk amongst the stars — at any hour, on any day.
