Each year local and nationally recognised artists entertain the crowd with an enjoyable family and community celebration of Christmas. Property Brokers Christmas at the Park is the largest Christmas event in Hawke’s Bay and attracts around 15-20,000 people.

Headlining this year’s event is Opshop lead singer Jason Kerrison. Jason and his band will be singing his best-loved tunes from the Opshop and The Babysitters Circus songbooks, alongside brand new tracks hot off the press, with some of Jason’s own favourite party classics.

Kerrison is a multi-platinum, multi-award winning singer-songwriter and producer. After Opshop and The Babysitters Circus, Jason continues to write, record and perform, between fencing and building projects on his block of land in Northland. In 2011, Jason was made a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit (MNZM) in the Queen's Birthday Honours List for Services to Music.

This year’s event will be held at Anderson Park, Napier on 4 December. Other entertainment lined up includes an hour of Christmas carols, local artists and bands, with the unique pyrotechnics display, which has become one of the most popular parts of the event. “This year’s pyro show will be very different from past years, as we have produced a new concept in multi-dynamic storytelling,” organiser David Trim said. The nativity story will be told, overlaid with music and choreographed in the sky using a variety of light forms. This year’s pyrotechnics will not feature any loud explosions and is the result of several years of planning.

Free face painting and confidence course for children & teenagers.
