A few things to know about Coca‑Cola Christmas in the Park, being held at the Auckland Domain on Saturday 14 December.
Catch a ferry, bus, or train to Christmas in the Park. Grafton and Newmarket Train Stations will be busy post event, please plan your journey in advance and allow extra time.

There will be enforced parking restrictions in place at the Domain and around the park’s perimeter. Park early to avoid unnecessary delays. Remember, the further away you park the faster you’ll get away.

Grafton Bridge will be closed to all vehicle traffic (except emergency vehicles, pedestrian and cycle access). For details on other closures please refer to www.christmasinthepark.co.nz.

While you’re enjoying Coca‑Cola Christmas in the Park, look out for the specially marked recycling bins stationed throughout the park. Recycle your bottles and cans in these recycling bins and be sure to use the correct bin. Our Bin Ambassadors will be on the bin stations to help you select the right one for your rubbish.
Be sure to visit the Coca‑Cola Recycling Wall. Just recycle your empty can or bottle into the recycle station for your chance to win a spot prize.
All our cans and bottles are recyclable. Help us by doing your part to refresh, recycle, and repeat – and continue to enjoy all the fun and magic of New Zealand’s favourite free outdoor Christmas party, Coca-Cola Christmas in the Park.
Auckland City Hospital and Starship Hospital are both open and operating as normal during Coca‑Cola Christmas in the Park, including the busy emergency departments.
If you are attending the event, please look out for ambulances and give them right of way and help keep the entrances to the hospitals clear for patients, whānau, visitors and staff.
Hospital car parks are not available for event parking. Please keep them free for those who need them for hospital services.
