Howick Village is celebrating the start of the festive season with our ‘Christmas Fair’ on Friday, November 18.
Our previous Fair in 2021 was cancelled due to Covid restrictions.
The Village will be alive with themed music, entertainment, activities and pre-Christmas shopping bargains.
The Christmas Fair runs from 9am, through until 9.30pm, as a family and community occasion and to celebrate Howick’s 175th commemorations.
Look out for the amazing in-store shopping deals and treats.
Picton Street will be closed to vehicle traffic between 5.30pm to 9.30pm.
As well as our superb retail stores, cafes and restaurants, our iconic markets will be open from 5.30pm, hosting a full contingent of stalls, street food vendors, artisan foods, produce and an extensive array of arts and crafts.
There will be a huge range of entertainment, and a number of community stands in Fencible Park – and special working displays by Howick Historical Village inside the War Memorial building – so there is something for everyone!
Santa’s Grotto is planned in Cook Street Courtyard – by Rombus Café and Bar and The Flower Bar, so bring the children to meet the man himself.
There will be music and entertainment in the courtyard for all to enjoy.
Lock Friday, November 18 into your calendars as a ‘must-do’ – we look forward to seeing you there.
