🎄✨ Get Ready for the Ahuriri Christmas Festival 2025! ✨🎄 Join us in Napier’s coolest seaside suburb as we transform Bridge Street and Spriggs Park into a festive wonderland!
Save the Date: Sunday, November 23rd – bring the whānau, celebrate the season, and experience the magic of Christmas in Ahuriri! 🎉
🎄 Here’s What’s in Store at the Ahuriri Christmas Festival!
🎶 Live Music & Entertainment
Stroll along Ahuriri’s Bridge Street to the sounds of live music and roving performers — there’s so much to enjoy all day long!
Back by popular demand, circus comedy duo Heidi and Sean return to our Performance Arena with two unmissable shows 🤹♂️🔥. From juggling to fire-eating, they’ll have you laughing, gasping, and cheering from start to finish!
The songs you forgot you love, the harmonies you’ll never forget — Hayley & Frank are the laid-back acoustic duo bringing sunshine and good vibes to the festival. Catch them performing throughout the day opposite Ahuriri Pharmacy.
🍴 Food & Drink
Fuel your festive spirit with delicious bites from our local cafés and favourite food trucks! This year we’re excited to welcome Wombo’s, Greek St, Shani’s Rib Truck, Indulgence Catering, The Doghaus, and TC’s Lil Donuts — something tasty for everyone!
Feed your sweet tooth and support a great cause at the St Augustine’s Brownies Bake Stall at Spriggs Park.
And for the grown-ups, enjoy artisan gin tastings by National Distillery and Unlikely Companions for an extra-special treat (R18).
🛍️ Artisan Market & Local Shopping
Discover handcrafted treasures and one-of-a-kind gifts at our Christmas Market. From local artists to boutique makers, it’s the perfect place to find unique presents — and support Ahuriri’s amazing creative community. Get your Christmas shopping done in style!
🏖️ Kids Zone at Spriggs Park
The little ones will love our FREE Kids Zone — with face painting, the Christmas Cubby Village, creative crafting under the pergola, and of course, a meet-and-greet with Beach Santa himself! Keep an eye out for Mrs Claus, too… she loves a selfie!
We’re also introducing brand-new activities this year, including the Infinite Angles 360° Photo Booth — a fun, immersive experience capturing the magic of the day from every angle — and e-scooter rides (gold coin donation) to support Pacific Surf Life Saving.
Down at the beach, join Pacific Surf Life Saving’s Little Nippers for fun beach games throughout the morning. Bring your sunscreen and start your day seaside!

Mark your calendar, bring your friends and family, and get ready to celebrate Christmas Ahuriri-style! And don’t forget to share this event with your whānau!
