Mt Eden Village channels the silly season on Saturday 1st December with the annual Christmas Tree Decorating Fiesta as part of Christmas in the Village.

The Tree Decorating Fiesta offers a great chance for families to do something inventive together in an outdoor environment. With Christmas tunes pumping and families coming together to create, it’s the perfect way to slide on into the festive season

Once the tree is complete, kids can show their design to one of the Christmas helpers in exchange for an early Christmas treat and can take the tree home.

All of the $10 donation received goes toward supporting community initiatives in Mt Eden.

Celebrate the start of the festive season with the 85th Farmers Santa Parade.

There will be grand floats, stunning costumes, your favourite characters and, of course, Santa!

The fun continues after the parade at Santa's Party in Aotea Square with rides, giveaways, stage entertainment and more.
