Singing, dancing and Santa are set to create a Christmas vibe at this year’s A Very Coastie Christmas event in Whangaparāoa.
There will also be festive food including 12 food trucks.
Future Whangaparāoa organises the event as a bit of free Christmas fun that the whole community can enjoy. Putting it on takes collaboration between local performers, businesses and community groups. It is funded by grants, including one from the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board.
Live entertainment is 100 percent local and includes Christmas carols, line dancing, bands The People and Senior Moments, soloist Jade and Hibiscus Tuakana.
The jolly man himself arrives around 12.30pm. There will be a bouncy castle, puppy cuddles with Saving Hope, face painting and children’s activities, as well as a Christmas market with handmade and artisan gifts. Hibiscus Coastguard and a fire truck will be there. Hibiscus Coast Zero Waste is managing waste on the day and local water supplier Aquaman will provide free water bottle top ups.
A Very Coastie Christmas is on Sunday, December 3 outside on the top carpark at Whangaparāoa College 11am-3pm.
