Saturday 5 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 5th December at 5pm in Windsor Park.

Sunday 6 dec

From 11am on Sunday 6th 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 Ethical Christmas Market at Devonport Community House. The perfect way to enjoy a festive Sunday with family and friends.
