Dunedin Midwinter Carnival

We’re so excited to welcome you to the Mini Midwinter Carnival Concert tonight!

After the difficult cancellation of our previous event, your support, kind words, and understanding have meant the world to us. We’re truly grateful for your patience, and we can’t wait to share a little magic with you during this special event. Please see below for important event information.

Doors Open & Ticketing:
We’ll begin ticketing and letting people into the Church 15 minutes before their scheduled show time. Please arrive early to make sure you have time to get settled. Ticketing will take place at the front entrance of First Church.

Show Duration & Interactive Fun:
The first portion of the show will be 45 minutes long. At the end of the performance, we invite all lantern holders to come up and dance with their lanterns or give them a little wiggle from their seats – let’s light up the room together!

Transition to Burns Hall:
Once the show concludes, we’ll guide you out to Burns Hall, where more magic awaits.

Food, Drinks & Entertainment:
Enjoy a variety of food trucks, warm mulled wine, and fun face painting. We’ll also have roaming performers bringing a whimsical touch to the evening.

Atmosphere in Burns Hall:
In Burns Hall, we’ve set up a stunning projection display accompanied by ambient music to create a cozy, magical vibe. This portion of the event is standing. Though accessible seating is available if needed.

Time & Audience Flow:
We expect guests to stay in Burns Hall for 30-40 minutes before making way for the next group. Our MC will announce when it’s time to leave and allow space for the next audience to enjoy the festivities.

As we work to bring as many people as possible through this mini concert, we kindly ask for your patience and understanding. Our team will do their best to ensure everything runs smoothly, so please bear with us as we manage the flow of guests.

Once again, thank you so much for your continued support. We can’t wait to see you there and share this magical experience with you! We hope it brings a little light and joy to your midwinter season.

Ka mihi nui,

The Dunedin Midwinter Carnival Team
