Hāwera Morning Street Festival & Christmas Parade

Get ready to celebrate the festive season at our Hāwera Morning Street Festival, a free community event organised by Bizlink Hāwera! With High Street blocked off in preparation for the annual Christmas parade, we’re turning this into a vibrant celebration on December 14th from 9 AM to 12 PM. The parade will kick off right at noon and the float theme this year is 'Santa's Little Helpers'!

Join us for a fantastic morning filled with fun and entertainment! Stroll along the High Street and explore a variety of stalls featuring local artisans, delicious food, and unique gifts. Kids can hop aboard Tinka the Train for a delightful ride, while professional face painting by Morph will add a splash of creativity to their day.

Don’t miss live entertainment throughout the morning, highlighted by an unforgettable performance by the band Banana Mundo on the Te Ramanui o Ruapūtahanga stage. It’s the perfect way to kick off the holiday festivities before the parade begins!

Bring your family and friends and make the most of this exciting morning in Hawera. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
