A Night Before Christmas – Saturday 22 December 2018

The Bay’s biggest FREE Christmas party “A Night Before Christmas” returns in 2018 to celebrate 22 years of Christmas joy in our very own Bethlehem.
Proudly presented by Bethlehem Baptist Church.
Over 13,000 people will come together to enjoy a festive variety of live music, dance, carols, and a massive fireworks display as this year’s event looks set to be another stunner – and as always, totally FREE!

Bring a picnic dinner, grab a bite from our amazing food trucks, take a photo at our photo booth, or maybe a selfie with one of our roving Christmas characters, and enjoy the picturesque grounds of the Bethlehem College Sports Fields.

A Night Before Christmas will feature a heap of amazing entertainers performing all the Christmas classics that are sure to get you singing and dancing along. With a variety of locally and nationally recognised performers, there’s sure to be something to get everyone into the festive spirit.

You won’t want to miss this unique opportunity to gather with friends, family, work-mates and neighbours to celebrate the traditions of Christmas under the star-studded skies of New Zealand’s very own Bethlehem, the heart of the Christmas story.
