THE weekend

This year, we’re unwrapping a whole new festive experience! The Devonport Christmas Festival is bigger and more special than ever, with an entire weekend of magic. Get ready for a community Christmas celebration like never before!

Saturday 6 dec

  • Enjoy an evening of live local music, delicious food, and a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere. Bring a picnic blanket, round up your friends and family, and unwind as talented performers and bands from Devonport and beyond take the stage. The festivities begin on Saturday 6th December at 5pm in Windsor Park.

Sunday 7 dec

  • From 11am on Sunday 7th December, Devonport comes alive with the our annual Santa Parade. Watch the streets fill with colourful floats, joyful music, and a heartwarming display of community pride.

  • The festive fun continues on the stage with this year’s Dance in the Park - a lively, Kiwiana-inspired Nativity performance. Featuring local talent, music, dance, audience participation, and sing-alongs, this two-hour show is full of heart and holiday spirit.

    Catch it from 11:45am - 2:30pm, right after the Santa Parade.

  • Don’t miss Santa’s Grotto, the Windsor Park Craft Market featuring unique handmade goods, and the Fine Food Artisan Market offering gourmet treats. The perfect way to enjoy a festive Sunday with family and friends.
