We’re kicking off the New Year’s Eve celebrations early with a special kids’ event that's one huge disco-themed party that your whānau won’t want to miss. Join the fun without having to stay out late.

The free event is headlined by Trubie-Dylan Smith, who will lead the celebrations with songs and kid-friendly entertainment.

DJZ will be there to bring the beats, and That Dance Studio will bring some talented young dancers to the stage.

To wrap up the festivities, there will be a mock countdown at 7pm, complete with confetti canons.

A range of food trucks will be onsite, selling yummy kai and drinks.
