What it is

The Mahurangi Winter Festival of Lights transforms Warkworth into a dazzling wonderland, with a spectacular Tunnel of Lights, a laser light show, and a snow machine bringing a touch of winter magic to the streets.

Little ones and older kids alike can enjoy amusement rides, a disco dance floor, live music, and food trucks across two lively fun zones on Wharf Street and Baxter Street. New this year, strike a pose with the ITSS Engineering Angel Wings for a truly memorable family photo.

Where this fits

Every one of these is a list we keep for Auckland families.
