Browns Bay holds several free community events and ‘Shop Local’ promotions each year to involve the community, and thank them for their loyal patronage of local businesses, as well as enticing visitors from further afield.
We are very proud of two signature events that continue to grow exponentially. The first is the Browns Bay Christmas Parade, otherwise known as ‘the biggest little Christmas Parade in Auckland’. It attracts up to 30,000 visitors, and is an amazing way to acknowledge the arrival of the festive season at the seaside. The other signature event is Summer Spectacular, which happens at the height of Summer on the Browns Bay summer beach reserve as a celebration of our beautiful beach and it close connectivity with the town centre.
Visit us here again to see details of our up and coming events and promotions.
Feast Coast Bays

Feast Coast Bays
Mairangi Bay, Browns Bay and Torbay businesses are collaborating to bring you Feast Coast Bays, a new restaurant trail designed to incentivise people from the greater Auckland area to visit, shop and dine at a selection of reputable restaurants in East Coast Bays.
Local diners are encouraged to participate too. Why not pick a restaurant you have not dined at this winter and give it a go. Pick as many as you like. You can win great prizes by dining at any of the superb Feast Coast Bays eateries.
It’s easy to participate. Dine out at any of the restaurants listed below, spend $50 or more per table, complete a brief entry form when you pay your bill, attach it to your bill, and pop it into the entry box. That’s you in the draw with a chance to WIN.
Three diners will be drawn each week over the 6-week duration of the promotion to win a $100 dining voucher. There is $1,800 of vouchers up for grabs! Then at the close of the promotion one very lucky winner will be randomly drawn from all entry forms submitted over the 6-week period to WIN a luxury weekend escape for two to Mudbrick Vineyard on Waiheke Island worth $2,000! The grand prize has been generously sponsored by House of Travel Browns Bay.
Enter as many times as you like over the 6-week period, but limited to one entry only per $50+ transaction.
