The Cromwell & Districts Promotion Group (CDPG) is delighted to confirm the return of Aotea Electric Cromwell & Daikin NZ as Principal Partner for this year’s Light Up Winter event.
Taking place on Saturday 2 August 2025, Light Up Winter remains a cherished highlight on the Cromwell events calendar, drawing locals and out-of-town visitors alike for an enchanting evening of live entertainment, delicious food, family-friendly fun, and the awe-inspiring mass lantern release.
With generous sponsorship from Aotea Electric Cromwell & Daikin NZ — alongside other local supporters to be announced — the involvement of business partners is essential in ensuring the event remains free-to-attend. Their partnership represents far more than financial backing; it reflects a genuine, ongoing commitment to the Cromwell community.
“Supporting our community means giving back to the very people who support us — the ones who keep our local team in work,” says the team at Aotea Electric Cromwell.
This community-first ethos has seen Aotea contribute time, skills, and resources to a wide range of local initiatives — providing electrical services, materials, and labour to support groups and causes throughout the region.
“We’re proud to once again support Light Up Winter,” adds Aotea Electric Cromwell. “It’s a special night that brings the community together and showcases the warming heart of Cromwell — and we’re thrilled to be part of it.”
In addition, confirmation of local council funding, announced at the recent Cromwell Community Board meeting, further reinforces the significance of this event to the town and wider region.
Caitlin Dykes, Chairperson of the Cromwell & Districts Promotion Group, says: “We’re incredibly grateful for the continued support from the Cromwell Community Board. Their backing is a testament to Light Up Winter’s growing reach, impact, and enduring value. We cannot wait to deliver another magical winter’s night for everyone to enjoy!”
Full programme details, including performances, food vendors, market stalls, the iconic Light Up Your Hat Competition, and how to purchase lanterns for the magical mass Lantern Release — will be revealed in the coming weeks.
