Gather the family and Christmas spirit – because Tauranga's large-scale Christmas in the Park is back!
This year's Christmas in the Park is at Soper Reserve on December 10, and will run from 10am-4pm.
'You can expect a big music line-up, heaps of free activities for the kids to get involved in, delicious street food, and local artisan market stalls from The Little Big Markets,” says an event spokesperson.
This year's Christmas in the Park is not only special with the return of large crowds – it also marks the 10th year the event has run.
The organising team from Little Big Events is most looking forward to using the 'generous koha” provided by the community to support people in need this Christmas.
'If you are keen to donate, please bring a gold coin, present, or non-perishable item of food to Tauranga's Christmas in the Park. The Breeze's ‘Stuff the Bus' will collect these from you on entry and their elves will start to sort the donations ready to drop off to our charities.”
The Little Big Events team is expecting around 2000-3000 people to attend, so it will be a big event community members won't want to miss.
'Now large-scale events can go ahead safely, we are very excited to be welcoming our community to Tauranga's Christmas in the Park knowing everyone can enjoy their time with friends and whānau.”
Tauranga's Christmas in the Park is fun for the whole family. For the kids, Santa's Grotto will be the place to be, with football, face painting, pottery workshops, and a photo booth along with other free activities to take part in.
For adults, the event features live music, delicious street food to try, and artisan market stalls to shop for last minute Christmas gifts.
In previous years, Christmas in the Park has raised more than $50,000 for charity, so round up the family and have a great time for a good cause!
