HAMILTON WEEKEND PLANNER

Ninja Run, Pasifika and a Hamilton week worth planning

4–11 November 2026

Ninja Run · Pasifika FiaFia · CATS · BLACKCAPS v India

🌸 Kia ora Hamilton!

Is anyone else starting to think about Christmas already? 🎄

We're officially in November, Hamilton, and here's something that might surprise you. Christmas is now just 7 weeks and 2 days away, and we're only 8 weeks and 2 days away from welcoming 2027!

Seriously, where has this year gone? 😅

But before we get too carried away with Christmas plans, Hamilton has another busy week ahead!

The Ninja Run is bringing giant inflatable obstacles to Claudelands, the Pasifika FiaFia Festival is celebrating culture and community, and the Sika Show is returning to Mystery Creek.

We've also got live theatre, local markets, free family activities and Guy Fawkes Night on Thursday.

And here's something cricket fans won't want to miss! 🏏

The BLACKCAPS take on India at Seddon Park on Tuesday 10 November, with a free Indian cultural celebration happening in Garden Place before the match.

It's also a special occasion celebrating 100 years of sporting connections between New Zealand and India. What a great opportunity to bring our communities together through sport, music and culture!

So whether you're already counting down to Christmas or simply trying to make the most of November, there's plenty happening around our city.

Grab a coffee, get comfortable, and let's see what's happening in Hamilton this week! 💚

A note on November

It feels like 2026 has absolutely flown by. Before we know it, we'll be talking about Christmas shopping, end-of-year work parties, school holidays, summer road trips and what we're planning for the New Year.

Have you started your Christmas shopping yet, or are you one of those people who leave everything until the final week? Don't worry, we won't judge! 😂

And with the Christmas break getting closer, there's something exciting about this time of year in Hamilton. People are starting to plan their summer holidays, organise family get-togethers and look forward to a well-earned break.

We're also getting those lovely longer evenings, and the warmer weather is finally starting to make an appearance. Temperatures could reach the low to mid-20s this week, although it looks like the weather might have a few surprises for us over the weekend.

🌦️ Hamilton Weather – 4 to 11 November

Well, Hamilton, it looks like we're getting a little taste of summer temperatures this week, but the weather has other plans too!

The early forecast shows temperatures reaching the low to mid-20s, with rain and possible thunderstorms around Friday and Saturday.

Here's the outlook:

☀️ Our weekend weather advice

If you're planning The Ninja Run or the Pasifika Festival on Saturday, keep an eye on the forecast.

Friday and Saturday could be quite wet, so a waterproof jacket might be a good idea.

Sunday looks a little more promising for getting outside, although morning rain is possible.

For cricket fans heading to Seddon Park on Tuesday, check the latest forecast before leaving home.

Winds are expected to be mostly light to moderate at times, but gusts could be stronger around showers or thunderstorms.

And remember, these are early forecasts. Things can change quickly, especially in Hamilton!

🎉 Weekly Special – Guy Fawkes Night in Hamilton 🎆

Thursday 5 November 2026

Remember, remember the fifth of November!

Yes, Hamilton, it's Guy Fawkes Night again.

For some families, it's a tradition filled with fireworks and excitement. For others, it's the night when the dog hides under the bed and everyone wonders why the neighbourhood sounds like a battlefield! 😅

Whether you're celebrating or not, it's important to keep the evening safe and considerate.

🎆 Fireworks Rules in New Zealand

Fireworks can only be sold from 2 to 5 November each year, and buyers must be aged 18 or older.

If you're planning to use fireworks at home, make sure you follow the safety instructions carefully.

Keep a bucket of water or hose nearby, don't let children handle fireworks and avoid using them in windy conditions.

🐶 Remember Our Pets

Fireworks can be frightening for dogs, cats and other animals.

If you have pets, consider keeping them indoors, closing the curtains and creating a comfortable space where they feel safe.

A little background music or television noise may help some animals stay calm.

🏘️ Be Considerate of Your Neighbours

Not everyone enjoys loud fireworks.

Hamilton City Council asks people to avoid setting off fireworks before Guy Fawkes Night and to finish celebrations by 10:30pm.

Fireworks should not be used in public parks or reserves without Council permission.

And with possible rain and changing weather this week, keep an eye on the forecast before lighting anything.

💚 Our Little Reminder

Whether you celebrate Guy Fawkes or prefer a quiet night at home, a little consideration goes a long way.

Keep everyone safe, look after your pets and be kind to your neighbours.

Whether you're heading to the Pasifika Festival, supporting young performers at CATS, browsing a local market or getting excited about the BLACKCAPS v India match, there's something special about seeing our community come together.
