A Little Christmas at Mitchell Park

Saturday 13 December, 12:00pm -4:00pm

Whakatāne loves Christmas—and we’ve heard your calls for more festive celebrations! With Mitchell Park recently redeveloped into a vibrant, welcoming space, we saw the perfect opportunity to combine community spirit with a beautiful new setting. That’s how A Little Christmas in the Park was born: a relaxed, family-friendly afternoon filled with festive fun.

What’s Happening?

Live Music from talented local performers
Interactive Community Stalls including Whakatāne Kiwi Trust, Bike Trust Whakatāne, and Whakatāne Interact Group
Games, face painting, card-making
Bike Giveaway!
Food Vendors & Picnic Areas for a tasty treat
Local Market Stalls—ideal for picking up Christmas gifts
Plenty of Christmas Magic (with a little help from Santa’s helpers!)

How Does It Fit with the Parade?
We’re teaming up with the Whakatāne Christmas Parade to make the day extra special. After enjoying the parade, head down to Mitchell Park for an afternoon of music, activities, and festive cheer. Our event runs from 12–4 PM, making it the perfect follow-on celebration.
