Vector Lights is celebrating the festive season with a dynamic light and sound show based on the New Zealand children's book, We Wish You a Kiwi Christmas by Lynette Evans with music by Pio Terei.

Spot Little Kiwi on the Auckland Harbour Bridge, who dreams of riding through the skies with Santa, and is surprised one Christmas Eve to come across Santa with a broken-down sleigh. Sing along to the lyrics in both English and Māori and watch Little Kiwi finally get her wish!
