Bring in 2026 with your whānau at Ōtautahi Christchurch’s biggest FREE afternoon family NYE party! 
We’re kicking off the New Year’s Eve celebrations early with a special kids’ event that’s one huge party your whānau won’t want to miss. Join the fun without having to stay out late. 
The free event is headlined by The Backseats, who will lead the celebrations with songs and kid-friendly entertainment.
DJ Chick will be there to bring the beats, and That Dance Studio will bring some talented young dancers to the stage, all MCed by Trubie Smith. 
To wrap up the festivities, there will be a mock countdown at 7pm, complete with confetti canons. 
A range of food trucks will be onsite, selling yummy kai and drinks.
Pack a picnic, grab your whānau and we’ll see you there!
This is a smoke-free, vape-free and alcohol-free event (24-hour liquor ban). For quick entry leave your bags at home as these may be searched on entry. No glass allowed. 
Stick around for NYE25 from 8pm! Featuring some of NZs finest rock acts – Kora, Dillistrate, Brad Staley and DJ Sambora, all MCed by Henare Kaa! Don’t miss this epic night.
