Christmas in the Quarters

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

We brought Wellingtonians Christmas this year with four events, one in each quarter of the city. Each event had a different theme.

Our Christmas Crafts, Christmas Music, Christmas Circus, and Santa events have wrapped up.

We look forward to bringing you Christmas in the Quarters again in 2024.
