It’s that time of year again – we’re getting ready to celebrate Christmas in Takapuna! 🎄
Taking place in Waiwharariki Anzac Square, the Takapuna Christmas Carnival will be a great day out for the whole family, including performances, kids entertainment and activities, games and more – as well as some wonderful boutique market stalls!
Rumour has it, Santa will be paying us a visit throughout the day too, and he’s excited to meet all the children – the 2-legged ones, and the furry 4-legged ones too! 🎅🧒🏼🐶
We are thrilled to be working with the team from Sunshine Events NZ to bring you a carefully curated, boutique and quality offering of craft, art, and stalls for this event – this is not the market to miss!
