Explore Esplanade Day: POSTPONED

Explore Esplanade Day, is back on New Zealand Children’s Day! In 2021, we are celebrating Palmerston North’s 150th - so come along to the biggest children's party of the year!

Victoria Esplanade is always a great place for a day out. With Palmy’s biggest playground, the popular paddling pool, accessible bushwalks and the beautiful rose gardens, as well as family favourites like the Esplanade Scenic Railway, Junior Road Safety Park, and Central Energy Trust Wildbase Recovery, there’s always so much to do.

But on this one special day each year, there’s even more! We’ve got live music and dance performances, food and craft stalls, and plenty of free activities for the whole whānau to enjoy.

Bring your family, your hats, and your sunscreen, and come on down and connect with your community.

You can enjoy this event in a smokefree and vapefree location.
