Know Before You Go
- Tickets: Free; no ticket or admission details are provided.
- Accessibility: There is a designated area at the front left-hand side of the stage for disabled people, along with event drop-off points.
- Pets: Visitors are advised to leave dogs at home because of the crowds, loud music and fireworks.
Tips & Advice
- Pack low camping or beach chairs rather than tall ones so the people behind you can still see the stage.
- Leave the gazebo at home, because marquees, trestle tables and other temporary structures aren't allowed in the parks.
- Don't bring alcohol to the Auckland Domain show, as it's alcohol-free, unlike the Christchurch show at Hagley Park.
- Check the site maps from mid-October for disabled drop-off points and street closures before you set off on the night.
- If the weather looks severe, listen to 91.8 Auckland or check social media, since there's no rain date if the show is cancelled.
Special Events & Promotions
- Rehearsal nights on Friday 27 November at Hagley Park and Friday 11 December at Auckland Domain

Frequently Asked Questions
Should we bring food or buy it there?
Either. Bring your own picnic or buy from the food trucks at the Coca-Cola Food Fest.
Can we bring chairs or a gazebo?
Low camping or beach chairs are welcome, but keep the people behind you in mind. Marquees, trestle tables and other temporary structures aren't allowed in the parks.
Can I bring alcohol?
Not in Auckland: the Auckland Domain show is alcohol-free. At Hagley Park in Christchurch, you can bring alcoholic drinks.
Can I bring my dog?
It's best to leave your dog at home because of the large crowds, loud music and fireworks finale.
What happens if the weather is bad?
If the weather is too severe, the show is cancelled and there's no rain date. Cancellations are announced on 92.1FM Canterbury, 91.8 Auckland and social media.
