Christmas in the Village: Waihī Beach Long Table Dinner

Join us for a free community Christmas evening in the heart of Waihī Beach village. Kai, activities, carols and more!

The long table is now fully booked! 🎄

Thank you, Waihī Beach! All 500 seats have been reserved, and we can’t add any more this year. We'd still love to see you here though!! All the activities are free and walk-up; there will be bar leaners around the village, and our local eateries will be open for dining in, so everyone can be part of the evening!

Hoping for a seat? Join the waitlist, and Eventbrite will let you know if any seats are returned.

Already have seats? Please check you need them all. If you have spares, return them here on Eventbrite so we can pass them on to someone on the waitlist.

This Christmas, we’re closing the road through Waihī Beach village and setting a long table right down the centre... and there’s a seat waiting for you.

Christmas in the Village is a free evening for everyone. Come with friends, bring the whole whānau, or come along on your own and meet your neighbours. However you arrive, you’ll be welcome at the table.

Bring your own, or grab something local
Securing your spot at the table is completely free. Bring your own kai and drinks, or pick up a takeaway from one of our local eateries and join us.
