Wellington What to expect
The two-hour evening runs from 5:30pm to 7:30pm and is organised by the Lions Club of Karori with the Karori Business Association. It offers a local park setting for families to enjoy carols together. The organiser lists Friday 4 December as the backup date, so check official updates if the weather looks uncertain.
As practical family advice, bring a picnic rug, water and a warm layer, and plan how you will get home. Keep children with their caregivers. Entry is free; ask the organiser about any purchases or specific access needs. For enquiries, use the contact details on the official event page. The artwork is the organiser’s 2026 event promotion, rather than a photograph of this year’s gathering.
