Auckland Music, a picnic and fireworks
Expect a big-stage Christmas celebration with singers, musicians and dancers, followed by fireworks. You can pack a picnic or buy food at the Coca-Cola Food Fest. Low camping or beach chairs are welcome, with consideration for people behind you. The Auckland event is alcohol-free.
Plan your family evening
Bring water, a picnic blanket and a warm layer for later. As practical family advice, consider hearing protection for young children, agree on a meeting place and plan the journey home before the show. Keep children with their caregivers. Public transport fares apply, and Grafton and Newmarket stations can be busy afterwards. Check the organiser’s access and road-closure information; hospital carparks are not event parking.
An accessible viewing area is available near the stage. Check the official site for drop-off arrangements and weather updates. Severe weather can cancel the event and there is no rain date. The images shown are official archive promotional artwork, not photographs of the 2026 Auckland event.
