From zinefests to street eats, we've picked the top five things to do in Auckland City this weekend.

1. Eat your heart out

Street Eats, Heart of the City's Restaurant Month finale returns with a great line-up of city restaurants serving their favourite dishes as street food, plus pop-ups, food trucks and more. Follow your nose along the trail of exotic and tantalising aromas, there's beer and wine bars, kids' entertainment and live music and art with Resene.

• Saturday, 10.30am - 8pm. Shed 10, Queens Wharf.

2. All the rage

New Zealand Fashion weekend starts up when the trade shows of fashion week leave off. Kicked off with a Kate Sylvester party, there are Resene Designer Selection shows (complete with goodie bags) all weekend, a pampering beauty hub, exhibition hall and the shop 'till you drop Designer Pop-Up Sale. The show on our radar is the AOK K' Road, a group of K' Road designers including avant-garde jeweller Nick Von K, Lela Jacobs, Jimmy-D, and Jason Lingard. More than just a runway show - these designers live and work on the cutting edge.

• Saturday 10am to 8pm (early entry VIP Designer Pop-Up 9am), Sunday 10.30am to 6.30pm. K Rd show Saturday, 2.30pm. Viaduct Events Centre.

3. Bulls eye

Eight of the world's leading darts players compete in the PDC World Series: Auckland Darts Masters, including World Champion Gary Anderson, world number one Michael van Gerwen and legendary 16-time World Champion Phil Taylor and eight Oceanic qualifiers. This is a step up from your pub/rumpus room attempts.

• Saturday, Sunday, 7pm. The Trusts Arena, Henderson.

4. Mag scene

Celebrating zines, small press, prints, art and all things DIY - the Auckland Zinefest Market is a great place for creative people to get together and express themselves. With works from over 60 zine makers and artists, displaying and selling a wide variety of wares, the Quick Draw Sketch Gang will be creating unique portraits during the weekend's 24-hour zine making challenge.

• Today, 12-5pm. Pitt Street Methodist Church.

5. Big bang

The wonderful winter series of Pick & Mix at Auckland Live is heading into its last few sessions. This weekend, Strike: Drums & Rhythms bring a high energy show with percussion sounds from across the globe (and a few special ones of their own). Performances at 10.30am are followed by workshops where everyone is given a percussion instrument to join in a heart pumping performance.

Sunday is also the Storylines Auckland Family Day bringing children together with beloved authors, illustrators and storytellers from around the country, plus chances for budding authors to create their own works, enter competitions and or just soak up books.

• Today, 10.30am-12.30pm, Aotea Centre. Tomorrow, 10.30am-12.30pm. Bruce Mason Centre.

Storylines, tomorrow 10am - 3pm .
