We know many families had been to every event since we started it in 2006, but we’ll be back stronger next year! To reminisce, you can find highlights videos of all our Family Fun Nights on the Youth Alive Trust YouTube Channel – you might even spot yourself! Kia Kaha

2020 Event – Cancelled!!!!!!!!!
Today we’ve made the sad sad decision to cancel the 2020 Family Fun Night due to Covid restrictions. Too much time, resources and money goes into planning this popular annual event, and with so much uncertainty, we’ve had to make the call 6 weeks out. Please pass it onto friends and family who normally attend. We’ll be back in 2021! Kia Kaha

Another successful Family Fun Night
Over 700 people from the New Brighton community attended the 8th annual Family Fun Night at Grace Vineyard Beach Campus. Over 80 volunteers, 40 games, 350 sausages, 160 apples, 300 lollypops and 22 kilos of lollies made for a GREAT Night! This years highlights included local kapa haka group ‘Te Pakanga Wairua’ who performed two spectacular shows and the very popular Photo Booth that took hundreds of photos! Event organiser, from Youth Alive Trust, Teish Nicholson, said “We had so much positive feedback from parents about how much fun their children were having, without the pressure of knocking on strangers doors asking for lollies. It was such a happy and fun environment – the only scared children we saw all night was when the Kapa Haka Group ran onto the stage!” Thanks to local businesses Countdown, Funky Pumpkin, Underground Coffee and Binn Inn for supporting the event.
