Wellington Diwali Festival of Lights returns to the capital ✨

Mollie Coulton from Wellington City Council

The vibrant Wellington Diwali Festival of Lights returns to the capital on Sunday 16 October ✨🥻🪔

At a new venue this year, Diwali will be smaller but just as sweet with non-stop cultural entertainment, food, and Indian cultural activities for the whole family to enjoy.

Join us at the Michael Fowler Centre from 3.30 pm to 8.30 pm. Here you’ll find delicious Indian vegetarian food stalls, traditional and contemporary dance, music and fashion, arts, crafts and henna stalls.

The celebrations will finish with a colourful firework display along the Waterfront!

It's free entry so come along and sample the colours, tastes and sounds of India and South-East Asia.

We can't wait to see you there! 👋

FREE 10-liter emergency water bottles

Michael from Newtown

Merry Christmas -

I have around twenty, empty 10-liter distilled water bottles to serve as emergency water storage. I saved them for my friends, but they already have their own water supplies. Take as many as you like. Please respond to this notice if you are interested.

Best wishes - Michael

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
