LIGHT PARTY 2025
Our vision is to host a fun, light- and life-filled alternative to Halloween—sharing the light of Christ and the Gospel across Palmerston North. This will be our 8th year running, and past events have featured food trucks, bouncy castles, concerts, and more. It’s a community event run by Christians, for everyone to enjoy. We’d love for your church to be involved! As always, we’re seeking volunteers, promotion, and prayer. Please pop the event on your church calendar and start chatting with your team about how you might participate—whether that’s decorating the Light Train, running an activity, joining the clean-up crew, or simply turning up to help make it an amazing night. CONTACT DETAILS: Daniel Palfreyman and the Light Party Team
