In the depths of winter, whilst most people are staying inside watching Netflix, here in Greytown we’re donning our Christmas jumpers, gathering around the outdoor braziers and having some good old fashioned fun. Our mid-winter festival is a month-long celebration designed to bring friends and family together. Set to a backdrop of spectacular lighting, festive food, events, night markets, workshops, beautiful displays, live entertainment and even snow, it’s a place to get together and create special memories.

The joy and happiness that you can experience here during the month of July is simply contagious.

Get ready for a mid-winter Christmas Carnival!

We’re beyond excited to unveil this year’s theme – Christmas Carnival – and boy do we have some exciting things in the pipeline. Our 2025 festival mascot Hari – the delightful festival pooch - will be spreading joy and cheer, with some brand new events and activities, alongside the return of the much-loved favourites.
