A heartfelt thank you to all of our funders, sponsors, and supporters for your financial and in-kind contributions. Your generosity makes this event possible, and we simply couldn't do it without you.

We're also incredibly grateful to the many local businesses, organisations, volunteers, and individuals who have helped in so many ways behind the scenes.

Every contribution, big or small, has made a difference.

Thank you all! 💙

💖 A huge thank you to our incredible community for getting behind our Pay-It-Forward ticketing option.

✨ Because of your generosity, we were able to gift nearly 200 tickets to local families, helping more people experience a little winter magic, wonder, and joy.

🥰 The Midwinter Carnival is all about bringing people together, and your support helped ensure that even more whānau could be part of the celebration.

🫶🏻 Thank you for helping make the magic accessible and for showing what a caring, connected community we have here in Dunedin.

Big thanks to our official photographer, Amanda Konijn, for these incredible shots. 📸

Amanda spent two nights covering every corner of the event, and it shows. We're lucky to have someone who captures the atmosphere, energy, and people so well.

Thanks for all the hard work, Amanda!
