Announcing the theme for this year’s Mask Parade

We are thrilled to announce that the theme for the 2025 Mask Parade, chosen by the 2024 Kim Merry Supreme Award Winner Nelson Central School, will be: 

TRANSFORMATION

Inspired by the tamariki learning about the life cycle of butterflies this year, we love that this theme is all about renewal, metamorphosis and bringing new ideas to life.

We are so excited to celebrate our most beloved community event this Spring and cannot wait what amazing masks and costumes you will come up with. 

Registrations for the Parade are now open:
