Greytown Festival of Christmas Grand Finale
Experience the grand finale of New Zealand’s happiest mid-winter festival this Saturday in Greytown!
The Fire and Ice Grand Finale includes aerial acrobatics, fire, a big singalong and food trucks. It also sees the return of the popular all-female brass street band The Hoot ‘n’ Annies, who will get your toes a tapping with their New Orleans-style music.
Wander the main street of Greytown, browse the Laneway Night Markets, soak up the last flutterings of snow, and eat, drink and be merry!
