After a year of unknowns and hardship as well as a hiatus in 2019, Trees at the Meteor returns!

An iconic Kirikiriroa Christmas event, Trees at the Meteor will see The Meteor Theatre become home to 60 plus trees that are a feast to the eyes.

"Exhibitionism on a grand scale of 'Christmas trees', there's no snow but The Meteor brings the show!"

The creatives of Hamilton get their glitter and glue guns on and make something special for the city to meander through. It's a super festive forest of what Christmas means to Hamilton, made by and for Hamiltonians to enjoy.

• Kiwiana - a tree, that reflects some expression of what it means to celebrate Christmas in Aotearoa/New Zealand.

• Avant Garde - A tree that grows in the left field - exhibiting innovation, novelty and originality.
