Let's Bring the Gift of Christ to
Christmas
Donate towards the 2025 Auckland Santa Parade Nativity Float
I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.
Today in the town of David, a Saviour has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.
Luke 2:10
The Auckland Santa Parade is the largest Christmas celebration in our city. It draws many families into the CBD, up to 180,000 people. Yet for many years, it has been a Christmas celebration without Christ.
Together, let’s change that!
Christians across Auckland are coming together to design and sponsor a nativity float in the 2025 Auckland Santa Parade. The float will depict the birth of Jesus, the most incredible gift the world has ever been given.
We need your help. Having a float requires a significant financial investment.
Will you donate to give our city the gift of Christmas?
We'd love your help to raise $40,000, so together we can bring the Nativity story back to the city of Auckland.
Here's what your donation will go to:
- Santa Parade entry fee ($20,000 + GST)*
- Materials to build the float**
- Sound system to play music from the float
- Trailer hire
- Nativity giveaways for the official Aotea Square After Party***
If you'd like to donate, please do so using our Give A Little page
We need your help to bring the gift of Christ to Christmas this year.
All donations of $5 or more are tax-deductible
* The Auckland Santa Parade is run by the not-for-profit Auckland Children’s Christmas Parade Trust. The standard cost to enter a float is $25,000+GST, which helps to cover costs such as traffic management, road closures, security, and paying event staff. We’re gratefully receiving a charity rate of $20,000+GST
**The float is being designed and built by creative manufacturers who attend different churches across Auckland. We're grateful their significant time investment is being donated
***With around 10,000 people attending the After Party, we want to promote upcoming Christmas productions and provide the kids & their parents with a nativity giveaway to share the true gift of Christmas
