Flavours, finds and festive fun! Explore a vibrant kai market celebrating the many cultures of Avondale and beyond. Discover unique gifts, handmade goodies and crafts from Avondale and Tāmaki, perfect for ticking off that Christmas shopping list.

Enjoy live music and DJs throughout the afternoon while you soak up the festive atmosphere. There’ll also be free family-friendly crafting activities to keep the tamariki entertained.

FREE dog portraits! Yep, you read that right! Bring your four-legged bestie along to our mobile dog portrait studio and get a FREE portrait of your pooch. Bonus points for festive outfits, Christmas bandanas and seasonal accessories!
