Little Island Carnival – new date

About this Event

This event has been postponed to Thursday 16th April 2026.

A community day celebrating Waiheke’s youngest adventurers!

🎯 Purpose

To promote Waiheke Island Playcentre and bring together the island’s early childhood and child-focused community, showcasing all the opportunities available for families with young children and an opportunity to fundraise.

The Little Island Carnival is a family-friendly market and carnival day celebrating play, learning, and connection on Waiheke Island.

Local early childhood centres and child-focused community groups — like the Sea Scouts, Toy Library, and others — will each have a stall or activity, creating a lively hub of games, treats, and discovery for families with children under six.
