Let's Bring the Gift of Christ to Christmas
Donate towards the 2025 Auckland Santa Parade Nativity Float
Auckland
The Auckland Farmers Santa Parade is the largest Christmas parade in New Zealand. Yet, it’s a Christmas celebration without Christ.
Together, let’s change that!
People across Auckland are coming together to sponsor a nativity float to showcase the birth of Jesus, the most incredible gift the world has ever been given.
Will you donate to bring Auckland the true gift of Christmas?
$40k will cover the cost of building the nativity float + entry fee for 2025
$60k will ensure the nativity float is also entered in 2026
$140k will ensure the nativity float is entered until 2030
Double your donation! A generous supporter is doubling every donation until Thursday 13 November.

Thank you for your support! 1 December 2025
The Santa Parade was yesterday (Sunday 30th November), and it was a great success!
The participants met at Elim Church in the morning to get into their costumes and have a final run through of the day, before we made our way up to Vincent Street, where the Nativity Float was stationed, ready to go!
The weather was choppy, but the rain stopped as the parade began. The route took us all the way down Queen Street, past 150,000 people, the choir singing Joy to the World and other carols that spoke of the good news of Jesus.
We then gathered at Aotea Square for the After Party, and had a booth offering fun and games (thanks to Red Frogs NZ), books telling of the Christmas story (thanks to Bible Society and Shining Lights Trust), information about other Christmas events in the communities, and the opportunity to take a photo with Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus.
A massive thank you to everyone who donated to make this all happen, to all those who got involved on the day, and to everyone who prayed for this event.
Together, we were able to bring the gift of Christ back to Auckland City this Christmas.
Meri Kirihimete.
