Waikanae Community Christmas Market

This will be our fourth Christmas market and it is being held on Friday December 22 from 3pm to 7pm in Park Ave, Waikanae, next to the playground and a large, grassed area.

Bring along your family and friends and enjoy all of the usual Saturday weekly stalls including: fresh fruit and vegetables, scrumptious baking including speciality breads and pastries, pies and quiches and a wide range of tempting goodies, knitted and crotched wear, flowers and plants, coffee, cheeses, local honey, local olive oil, recycled and upcycled furniture, records, jewellery, books, comics, charms, vinyl and CDs, hand-made cards, lego knits, natural skincare, Rawleighs products, landscape pictures, bric-a-brac, tools, bygone days, pet accessories plus loads of extra stalls catering to all. Hot and cold food stalls representing local and international flavours and tastes will be there including all of your favourites. Entertainm s the Kapiti Brass band with a seasonal repertoire, Kāpiti Coast Pipes and Drum band with its stirring tunes, a visit from Father Christmas plus much more.

This year, as always, we have chosen to support two local charities. The Wellington Free Ambulance Service and the Kāpiti Community Foodbank — both are fully deserving of our support. They will both be represented at the market, so be sure to bring along any donations you may have as they will be accepted on-site.

The Waikanae Pony Club have again loaned us their field, and Waikanae Lions will be acting as parking marshals to guide you safely in and out of the extra parking available. Koha for this service would be much appreciated.

So come along and enjoy a great family atmosphere, listen to music, enjoy a tasty snack, pick up last-minute presents and kick off Christmas 2023 in grand style - all in a family-friendly and safe area.
