This year Central Hawkes Bay District Council are supporting local Christmas events by enabling our community to shop local!

Join us 30 November for CHB Farmers Market & Concert in the park, there will be delicious food, market stalls, and live music from Naked Gun. Grab a picnic blanket and bring the family down for some early Christmas shopping and Christmas cheer!

Come on down to Shopping - Beats, Bites & Buys, 15 December. In-store specials, storefront stalls, live music, street food, and of course Santa's grotto! Head to Ruataniwha street, Waipukurau or High street, Waipawa between 10-2pm.

This event may look a bit different from previous years due to tighter budget constraints, but rest assured, we're still committed to providing plenty of fun!
