Festival of Christmas

Come and be part of the Greytown Festival of Christmas this July, with a month-long programme of spectacular lights, workshops, events, Matariki activities, Laneway Night Markets, parties, food and family fun from 29 June to 27 July.

Check out the full programme and get your tickets now - don't miss out!

Kicking off on Saturday 29 June with the Big Switch Opening Night, and wraping up with the Grand Finale Spectacular on Saturday 27 July, the festival includes a whole lot of entertainment in between, bringing back firm favourites alongside some exciting new events and activities.

This year's theme Fire and Ice brings outdoor braziers, sprinklings of snow, and a sparkling winter wonderland through the streets, stores, bars and restaurants.

The festival has quickly grown into a new tradition, with all the hallmarks of a Northern Hemisphere winter escape, but with our own kiwi flavour. It brings together families, school children, community groups and locals, and attracts people from all around New Zealand to eat, drink, shop and celebrate in Greytown.
