Christmas in the Quarters

We are celebrating Christmas with four free whānau-friendly events, in four different parts of the city this year.

Kids, come and make Christmas crafts on Saturday 23 November in Midland Park. Bop along to Christmas music on Saturday 30 November in Glover Park.

Enjoy circus acts under the sails at Queens Wharf on Saturday 7 December, and be at Waitangi Park on Saturday 14 December for Santa’s arrival, to meet Santa, and for a fun range of Christmas activities.

Christmas in the Quarters events

We are also looking at bringing Wellingtonians a Christmas Carols sing-along this year. Visit this page in November for details.

Christmas in the Quarters is free. Crowds and queues are likely, but we're expecting everyone to enjoy the season’s celebrations.
