It’s 27 metres tall to the tip of the star. That’s over 6 stories high. It takes a team of 15 people to install the frame and the lighting, fluff the branches and hang the baubles. This tree is huge!
The SkyCity Hamilton Christmas Tree will shine brightly in Garden Place once again in 2026 and will be a great focal point for the community to gather, watch, perform and celebrate the festive season.
The Christmas Tree will light up the nights from the end of November right through to New Year.
