The Community Christmas Project

This year, we're bringing all of Upper Hutt's festive fun together in one place. Our new Community Christmas Project page will showcase everything happening across the city, with local businesses, community groups and organisations invited to send us their Christmas events, activities, promotions and celebrations for inclusion. It's an easy way for everyone to discover what's on throughout the season and stay local.

The page is also celebrating the incredible community spirit that makes Christmas in Upper Hutt so special. Schools and community groups are helping decorate our streets with festive decor, which is why we've named this initiative The Community Christmas Project: a celebration created by the community, for the community.
