The Festival of Christmas has quickly grown into a new tradition bringing together families, school children, community groups and locals, attracting people from all around New Zealand to eat, drink, shop and celebrate in Greytown. At a time when most people are staying inside watching TV, we’re putting on our Christmas jumpers, firing up the outdoor braziers, and heading to this spectacular festival of lighting projections, free events, parties, Matariki activities, festive food, mulled wine and gin, and a whole lot of happiness. They will even have snow!
