Kāpiti Christmas Parade and Festival
Kāpiti, your Christmas wishes have come true! 🎄🎅 Join us for a fantastic day of holiday celebrations on Sunday, 10 December, from 11am to 4pm.
Be enchanted by the Christmas floats as they parade around Southward Car Museum's driveway starting at 11am. Santa himself will be there, so make sure to give him a friendly wave! 🎅
And the fun doesn't stop there! Head behind the museum for a festival filled with bouncy castles, delicious food trucks, live music, and more. And of course, remember to visit Santa in his Grotto.
A free Christmas Bus will leave Paraparaumu train station every 30 minutes to bring attendees to the event and back again – first bus departs at 10.30am for the parade.
Thinking about joining the parade with your own float? Make sure you read our parade rules before completing the entry form. To learn more about entering, visit www.kapiticoast.govt.nz...
Thanks to our main sponsor, Voyle & Co Realty, for helping us make this event possible.

After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park.
