The 2020 Christmas Light Show has been cancelled
So sorry! It’s not just about Covid-19. We’re building new pontoons at the Maritime Park and we can’t set up a Light Show on a building
site. This will be disappointing to our many volunteers and to our regular visitors, but until the pontoons are completed there can be:
o No Christmas Light Show
o No river boat trips
But the other activities at the Park can carry on as usual:
o The Museum will still be open
o We can still welcome campervans
o We’ll be able to host functions
(Covid-19 conditions will apply to the above)
Catch up on progress and contact us here or through our Facebook page.
The 10th extra-special spectacular Paeroa Christmas Light Show will be in December 2021. Watch for dates.
Bigger. Bolder. Brighter. Come along and be amazed at the spectacular display of lights dancing to music, the laser light show, and discover the Amazing Magical Museum… I wonder what is happening at the North Pole?

How it all began
It all started with an idea, and Ellen Cooper and Robert Yeates created the inspiration for the light show. And we, the Historic Maritime Park Museum, would like to thank them for that because now the Paeroa Christmas Lights Show has become an annual phenomenon which just keeps growing and getting better.
It wouldn’t have happened without the terrific support from the New Zealand Community Trust, Rotary, the Lions and Esmae, and Bruce and Candy Jamieson for their creative input. Not to mention our many, many other volunteers who are always eager to donate their time and energy for no more than a cup of tea, a cake and the sheer enjoyment of seeing the achievement and the joy on the faces of all those who come along.
Keep an eye on our site, because more wonderful stories will be posted as we grow even further.
