If it’s not beginning to look
a lot like Christmas yet, it will
soon enough. This year, we’re
looking forward to a host of
events to help lift those –
Christmas Spirit.
CAROLS IN THE PARK –
Friday Dec 2, from 6pm, Central Park: Pack a picnic for a fun filled, family-focused, free evening, featuring carols as well as other Christmas songs.
PAPAKURA ROTARY SANTA PARADE –
Sunday Dec 4, from 3pm: From Central Park, the parade marches down Great South Rd, into Broadway and Railway St before looping back for more entertainment during Chilling in the Park.
CHILLING IN THE PARK –
Sunday Dec 4, 4-6pm, Central Park: Featuring live music, food trucks, face painting and much more, this after-parade party gives us the chance to chill out during what’s expected to be a warm summer evening.
LATE NIGHT SHOPPING –
Thursday Dec 8, 5-7pm: Papakura stores will be open late providing the perfect opportunity to shop to the tune of festive entertainment as we knock off those Christmas wish lists.
SHOP AND WIN –
Dec 1-22: For every $20 spent at any Papakura Store, shoppers can be in to win $1000 in gift vouchers. Simply pop your receipt (name and phone number on the back) into the specially marked barrel near Papakura Library.
SANTA’S GROTTO –
Dec 15-23 (closed Dec 18): Come along to Santa's home away from home here in Papakura. Have free photos taken with the man himself (the one and only, we believe!) while passing on Christmas gift requests direct, or by posting them through his mailbox. What’s more, his capable helpers will be on hand to wrap gifts. The Grotto is located at 178 Great South Road.
