Trees at The Meteor has been a traditional family Christmas outing for tens of thousands of Hamiltonians since its inception in 2007. This well-loved community arts focused event draws widely from across the city and attracts approx. 5000 annual visitors to participate and vote, view the works created by people of Kirikiriroa, and experience social connection and fun in a joyful environment.
Trees At The Meteor delivers a ‘Compassion not Consumption’ kaupapa, as an affordable event that exhibits creative, hand-made interpretations of festive trees, focusing on connection and kindness within the community at Christmas time.
We are pleased to host this regular fixture of the Christmas calendar, as many are eager to experience the magic and fairy lights of the Trees exhibition again, marvelling at all the wonderful, wacky, and inventive ways their fellow citizens have interpreted the iconic Christmas Tree.
This year, the Trees at The Meteor exhibition will run from 10th-19th December 2025. Opening hours are:
Wednesday 10th – Friday 12th December, 11am-2pm
Saturday 13th, Tuesday 16th – Friday 19th December, 6:30pm-9pm
Entry is by koha!
