Light Up the Night


Join us as we kick off the Christmas season with Light up the Night - Napier’s official tree lighting celebration!

Bring the family for an evening full of festive fun, with live performances from St Joseph’s Māori Girls' College, Kaden Hura-McIntosh, Storm in a D Cup, and Ella Pollett, plus roving entertainment, free face painting, the Bubbleman, Christmas fairies, an interactive mural and 360 photo booth.

And the big man himself, Santa, will be there from 7:15 to 8:30pm, before the countdown to light the tree just after sunset, apx 8:30pm .Don't forget to dig out that delightfully cringey Christmas sweater...the more outrageous, the better. See you for the big switch-on!

Plus, one lucky family will win the honour of flicking the switch to light the tree after the countdown - and take home a $500 CBD shopping voucher to kickstart Christmas!

Proudly brought to you by Napier City Business Inc, Napier City Council, Unison, Alexander Development and The Hits Hawke’s Bay.
