Santa will arrive in Gulf Harbour in style, on board a Coastguard boat, as part of Christmas at the Canal on Saturday, December 3.
The event is organised by the Vine Community Church to bring the community together in the waterside setting of Gulf Harbour village.
It will feature live music, including carols played by members of the Kumeu Brass Band, as well as choirs from local schools.
There will be art and craft stalls under the trees, and Gulf Harbour preschool will have an art gallery of works set up.
Giant bubbles, bouncy castles and free kids’ crafts are all part of the fun, and Clover Nails will paint children’s nails free of charge.
Children aged five years and over can learn to skateboard – ramps will be set up and Young Guns Skates instructors will be on hand to teach.
For those who cycle to the event, Gear Heads Workshop will provide free safety checks on bicycles.
A wide range of food and refreshments are on offer, including a sausage sizzle.
Vine Community Church has also set up a free food pantry – anyone is welcome to bring non-perishable items to donate to the pantry, or to help themselves to items.
Organiser, Vine Community Church pastor Sian Bonner, says it will be a fun, affordable day out for the whole family.
Christmas at the Canal is on Saturday, December 3, from 10am to 1pm at Gulf Harbour Village (around the rotunda). Info: www.thevine.nz
