Christmas lights up Te Rauparaha Park
After a challenging year it’s time to celebrate, and Porirua City has just the event to get people in the Christmas spirit.
Christmas in the City will be held at Te Rauparaha Park on Saturday 5 December, from 12–4pm, with a wonderland of lights, fun and a sprinkle of Santa’s magic.
Date: 5 December
Time: 12–4pm
Venue: Te Rauparaha Park, Porirua.
Entry and all activities are free.
Activities will include bouncy castles, arts and crafts, a photo booth, bubbles, mini cars, face painting, a free sausage sizzle, snow cones
and more.
There will be fun Christmas games like tree decorating, Christmas wrapping race, stocking guessing game and the bauble and spoon race – check out our website for the games timetable and more information.
Of course, Christmas is not Christmas without a visit from Santa! We have it on good authority that Santa will make a stopover from the North Pole to visit our tamariki.
You can get a selfie with Santa or post him a letter in our special mailbox.
So grab your sunhats, put on sunblock and set out on your bike, scooter, own two feet, catch a bus or train or take advantage of our free weekend parking.

Poll: Would you participate in local initiatives aimed at stopping plastic from reaching our oceans?
Volunteers will be scouring the foreshore, riverbanks, and islands for rubbish on Saturday the 13th as part of the Clean Up the Hutt event.
This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.
We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
