Katikati has its own Christmas wonderland.
Children will be enraptured when visiting Santa’s Christmas Grotto, which has transformed The Arts Junction theatre.
Each year community groups and organisations put their Santa (thinking) caps on and come up with creative, festive displays to celebrate and honour the special time of year.
The displays — which transform the theatre into a sparkly dreamland — include lights galore, fairies, wishing trees and other Christmassy scenes by Western Bay Library, Katikati Theatre, Katikati Combined Churches, Katikati Floral Art, Katch Katikati and Katikati Open Air Art, each spending many hours creating the innovative and original displays.
