Santa's Mega Grotto is presented by the Christchurch Children's Christmas Parade Trust and MultiMedia Communications Ltd. to replace the annual Santa Parade which has had to be cancelled this year due to COVID-19.

Possibly Santa’s biggest Grotto in New Zealand with 40 plus floats, costumes, lights and music. All the floats are undercover in our nice, warm, enormous building with a huge viewing area on a mezzanine floor.

There will be bands and groups performing weekend (not the weekdays) as well as food vendors and other activities to enjoy.

The Trust and MultiMedia Communications Ltd. are committed to making this event a great success and provide the same joy and entertainment for the children Canterbury that Santa's Parade normally brings.

Opening hours

  • Weekdays: 10.30am to 3pm
  • Weekends: 10.30am to 5pm
