Browns Bay Christmas Parade & Market
Come and enjoy the biggest little Christmas Parade in Auckland! The iconic Browns Bay parade attracts 10,000+ visitors every year and is recognised for being a stunning family event that marks the start of the Festive Season on Auckland's North Shore.
Bring your family and friends to Browns Bay for a day trip. Relax on the beach; ice cream in the sun; coffee or lunch at one of the many fabulous cafes and restaurants in town.
Stroll through the all-day craft market in Phoenix Plaza and the beach front where you'll find Christmas gift ideas galore. Live entertainment in the Plaza will keep your feet tapping until it's time to find your prime position along the parade route.
The Parade starts at 5pm from Glen Road, turns into Bute Road, then Clyde Road (main street), Anzac Road, and finishes back at Glen Road. See an amazing procession of festive floats, bands, dancers, vehicles, magicians, as well as many church, school and community groups in amazing costumes. And lots, lots more.
What a great day in Browns Bay:-)

❤️ Have You Had Your Heart Health Check (CVDRA)?
Did you know you may be eligible for a Cardiovascular Disease Risk Assessment with our Registered Nurse?
A CVDRA is a simple check that helps estimate your risk of having a heart attack or stroke in the next 5 years. Even if you feel well, heart disease can develop silently so checking your risk early is key.
During your appointment, our Nurse will:
✔️ Check your blood pressure
✔️ Review your cholesterol and blood test results
✔️ Discuss your medical and family history
✔️ Talk about lifestyle factors such as smoking, diet, and exercise
✔️ Calculate your individual heart risk score
✔️ Offer free support with our Health Coach who can help implement lifestyle changes to reduce your risk.
This assessment helps us work together to keep your heart healthy and prevent future problems.
📩 If you receive a recall from us, please book in it’s quick, straightforward, and could make a big difference to your long-term health.
If you’re unsure whether you’re due, contact our team and we’ll be happy to check for you.
Looking after your heart today protects your tomorrow. ❤️
