Twilight in the Village 2025

Friday 5 December, 5pm to 9pm

Tītīrangi, the little village with bright lights and big heart, is staying open late to celebrate the festive season on Friday 5 December, 5-9pm. Come along to Twilight in the Village to shop a delightful array of stalls, support local commerce and enjoy an abundance of free activities for the whole whānau.

Get ready for the big day at the Lopdell Twilight Market, with wall-to-wall creativity; a curation of stalls, free face painting for tamariki and family-friendly short films playing in the theatre. Sit down with local collage artist Naomi Azoulay to create your own cards and take advantage of our free gift-wrapping station.

The Mollymawks will entertain the Lopdell rooftop with their acoustic melodies as the sun sets over the mighty Waitākere Ranges, and the Greater Auckland Chorus will awaken your holiday spirit with carols throughout the evening.

Peruse Upstairs Gallery’s Summer Show and visit the Titirangi Theatre bar for a refreshing cold drink or their irresistible holiday speciality, mulled wine. Indulge in the Italian gelato cart or at one of the many local eateries around the village. The unique and fabulous gallery shop at Te Uru is staying open late too, so you can shop for one-of-a-kind gifts for yourself or loved ones. Stay awhile at Deco Eatery to enjoy their summer menu.

Check out the colouring competition at Barfoot & Thompson and take a group shot at the spectacular photo frame. Get adventurous, explore the village and search for clues in the scavenger hunt.

Find the Christmas elves, meet Santa and stick around to see him switch on the Titirangi Village Christmas Lights at 8.30pm.

There’s so much to do in the Fringe of Heaven at Twilight in the Village 2025! Check out the full programme of festive offerings at lopdellprecinct.org.nz

Twilight in the Village is presented by Lopdell Precinct, Bright Lights Little Village and the new Tītīrangi Business Association. This event is made possible with funding support from Waitākere Ranges Local Board and Lopdell Trust.
