Kāpiti Christmas Parade and Festival

The Team from Kāpiti Coast District Council

Kāpiti, your Christmas wishes have come true! 🎄🎅 Join us for a fantastic day of holiday celebrations on Sunday, 10 December, from 11am to 4pm.

Be enchanted by the Christmas floats as they parade around Southward Car Museum's driveway starting at 11am. Santa himself will be there, so make sure to give him a friendly wave! 🎅

And the fun doesn't stop there! Head behind the museum for a festival filled with bouncy castles, delicious food trucks, live music, and more. And of course, remember to visit Santa in his Grotto.

A free Christmas Bus will leave Paraparaumu train station every 30 minutes to bring attendees to the event and back again – first bus departs at 10.30am for the parade.

Thinking about joining the parade with your own float? Make sure you read our parade rules before completing the entry form. To learn more about entering, visit www.kapiticoast.govt.nz...

Thanks to our main sponsor, Voyle & Co Realty, for helping us make this event possible.

Poll: Is the increase in disability parking fines fair?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In October, the fine for parking in a designated mobility car park without a permit has jumped from $150 to $750—a 400% increase!

The goal is to keep these spaces open for those who truly need them. Do you think this big increase in the fine is fair? Share your thoughts below.

Heirloom Tomatoes, Zucchini and Cucumber Plants at Waikanae and Otaki Markets

Val from Otaki District

Rain, wind and cold - just what these veggies don't like! However, better times are on the way and you can get a head start if you have a warm sheltered spot to nurture these seedings. They are coming along well in spite of the conditions.
We'll be at Waikanae tomorrow morning OR come see us at the massive Market and Camping Expo at Otaki on Sunday from 10.00am to 4.00pm. There will be a lot going on, plenty of entertainment and foodtrucks for sustenance, plus the usual array of quality stalls.
So came and check us out. Even if you are not ready to plant just yet, we can offer advice on varieties and cultivation. If you would like the full ;list of tomato varieties available, please PM me.
