Join us for a truly enchanting experience at the ILOVEPONSONBY Light Show! ✨

As long golden evenings settle, a giant illuminated clockface appears across a local façade, viewed from Te Rimutahi.

A slow-turning, quietly magical clockwork mechanism reveals a new scene - Ponsonby Road reimagined as a series of lush miniature dioramas, each held within a glass sphere.

Native birds glide above heritage buildings, hibiscus and pōhutukawa bloom around familiar neighbourhood landmarks.

It’s a celebration of Ponsonby itself - its people, its architecture, its Pacific heartbeat.
Twelve rotations, twelve vignettes, each one a postcard of an Aotearoa summer unfolding. ❤️

Come and experience the magic for yourself!

✨ Wednesday 17th December and Thursday 18th December, 8:30pm - 10:00pm

Decadence served by the spoon 🥄 The Risotto All' Anatra at Prego Restaurant is a Ponsonby Iconic Eat you dream about.

Indulge in creamy risotto featuring tender roast duck, a mushroom medley, and aged balsamic vinegar. Finished with the essential shavings of Grana Padano, this dish is simply unforgettable.

Tag the person you’re long overdue a Prego dinner date with!

This take on a classic spring roll is perfection! 👌

Khu Khu's Kumara Spring Rolls are a delicious vegan marvel worth celebrating. They feature sweet purple kumara and glass noodles, all wrapped in a crispy golden shell. Paired with an addictive sweet carrot sauce. This is what iconic flavour is all about!
