It’s nearly time to light up ILT Stadium Southland with Christmas magic! ✨🎄

The Murihiku Christmas Tree Festival opens Monday 1 December, and you’re invited to bring your whānau along to soak up the festive spirit.

Wander through a forest of beautifully decorated trees, each one shining bright with creativity and community spirit.
