Back to page 1 Page 2- History of Franklin road The people of Franklin Road are proud to be a part of the awesome festive celebrations. I think its great that they put on light displays for the whole of Auckland to watch. If you haven't seen the lights then next Christmas you should go. there is usually a lot of traffic, so if you decide to go try to park nearby & walk or else you will get stuck in traffic!!
