Join us as the Ellen Melville Centre and Freyberg Place are transformed into a vibrant Filipino Christmas village, bursting with music, food, storytelling, and creativity for the whole whānau.
Savour the flavours of the season at our Simbang Gabi-inspired outdoor food lane, featuring beloved Filipino holiday treats like bibingka, puto bumbong, lechon, and more. Sing along to traditional carols that capture the soundscape of a Filipino Christmas. Get creative in our festive kids’ zone — design your own ornaments or enjoy enchanting Filipino Christmas stories.
