Cox Partners Christmas at the Park with The Feelers
Christmas is just around the corner! We’ve been busy with arrangements for Cox Partners CHRISTMAS AT THE PARK which will be held at Anderson Park, Napier on Saturday, 14th December 2019.
Kiwi music pioneers THE FEELERS will headline the show, supported by the iconic Hawke’s Bay troubadours THE KAWEKAS, and 2019 Smokefreerockquest winner’s indie-rock, rising stars ARLO MAC.
Twenty-five years ago, James Reid and Hamish Gee formed one of the country’s best-loved bands, THE FEELERS and started on a journey writing and recording some of the greatest songs ever written in New Zealand.
The group have amassed some remarkable statistics: a quarter of a million albums sold; five multi-platinum albums; five number one albums; seven number one singles; 5 NZ Music Awards; 3 APRA most played song of the year awards; and more radio airplay than any other New Zealand artist or band since radio stats began in 1999.
Expect to hear many of THE FEELERS hits including Pressure Man, Venus, Communicate, Larger Than Life, One World, Astronaut, Fishing For Lisa, As Good As It Gets, The Fear and of course the 2011 Rugby World Cup song Right Here, Right Now.
The band is promising Hawke’s Bay one of their best live shows yet at Cox Partners CHRISTMAS AT THE PARK. Please join us! The chemistry of great music and a safe, family-friendly atmosphere promises to be a highlight of the Christmas calendar.
One of the event’s most popular traditions is a brilliant firework display choreographed to the telling of the nativity story. However, we are mindful that pets and domestic animals can be frightened by pyrotechnics. For this reason, we have provided neighbours with information on how to care for pets at this time.
Fireworks begin around 9:30pm and run for 10 minutes.
Anderson Park, Napier has excellent on-site parking (a gold coin donation is appreciated for parking). To ensure a family, friendly atmosphere is maintained no alcohol, nor smoking is permitted.
For children there are free activities in the Laser Force Children’s Zone. While concertgoers are encouraged to bring a picnic, a range of food vendors will also be available for purchase.
Cox Partners CHRISTMAS AT THE PARK is a free, family friendly event facilitated by Kaizen Trust with an army of community volunteers. It is funded by sponsorship, voluntary contributions and trust funding.

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑
Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.
