Sky Tower lights turn off in honour of Pope Francis

The Sky Tower will turn off its lights tonight and tomorrow night to honour the passing of the leader of the Roman Catholic Church, Pope Francis.  

The move follows a directive from the Prime Minister for the New Zealand Flag to be flown at half-mast on all Government and public buildings on Tuesday 22 April and Wednesday 23 April 2025.  

The Sky Tower, a landmark of national significance, will go dark as part of the country’s tribute to Pope Francis.
