2023 Central Hawke's Bay Community Christmas Carnival

A fun & festive FREE community event filled with lost of Christmas cheer!

It is going to be a ‘Holly Jolly' Christmas event that will see the closing of Ruataniwha Street between Northumberland Street & Porangahau Rd, providing residents and visitors alike opportunity to enjoy, connect and celebrate the joy of the festive season, all while being able to 'Shop Local' for any Christmas gifts!!

There will be food trucks, live music & entertainment including a magician, EPIC carnival games and activities, and Santa’s Den where Santa will be in residence to listen to children’s wish list’s.

We’d love to have you join us in celebrating Christmas in Central Hawke’s Bay! So mark it in your calendar and rally up your friends and whānau.

Parking and transport to & from the event from Russell Park on the vintage fire truck is just a gold coin donation - pay on the day (cash only).
