Christmas in Rocket Park

What is Christmas in Rocket Park?

Following on the outstanding success of last year’s event, on Sunday 28 November 2010 from 6.30 – 9.30pm, the Mt Albert community will be gathering for the second time to celebrate Christmas and enjoy our very own carols-by-candlelight in Rocket Park! This family-friendly, quality event will feature known artists and celebrities Petra Bagust, Late 80’s Mercedes, Chris Cope & Chris Opie as well as performances from local schools and community groups. Proceeds will go to our Mt Albert Plunket.

 

Our purpose is three-fold, namely:

  1. To foster community spirit at a free family event
  2. To share the goodwill, peace and joy of Christmas
  3. To raise funds to support the great work of a local charity

 

Background

Last November, at the inaugural event, a crowd of over 3,000 people was awed by artists Petra Bagust, Nathan King and Dave Wiggins as well as performances from local schools and community groups. Supported by generous sponsors, an outstanding volunteer Task Force together with about 60 other church and community volunteers, we were able to successfully achieve the above purposes. All up $4,546 was raised for Mt Albert Plunket.
