Join us for a special festive gathering celebrating good kai, community and the joy of sharing a meal. Everyone is welcome to take a seat, connect with others and enjoy a delicious meal. Come and get to know more people in your community!
Expertly prepared by Everybody Eats, the meal will be made in part with rescued food, helping reduce food waste while serving up nourishing dishes that are good for both people and the planet.
Come share the Christmas spirit with us, because food really is better when it's shared.
This is a FREE, ticketed event, brought to life by Everybody Eats and Interesting Things.
Walk-ups are welcome on the day, subject to availability, with a number of meals reserved to help ensure those experiencing hardship can take part. Guests will also have the option to pay it forward, helping fund future meals for people who need them most.
Check out all the festivities happening throughout December and come along to Auckland Live Christmas in Aotea Square.
