The last SUNRISE of 2026 — and this time, it's for everyone.

Come watch the sun rise over the Pacific from one of the best SUNRISE views in Christchurch, with live DJs turning New Brighton's pier into a dancefloor as the sky goes gold.

Start Your Day Dancing.

What to expect:

- Live DJ sets from 6am.

- One of the best SUNRISE views in Christchurch, right from Salt on the Pier.

- Every paid ticket (adults and Youth 5–17) includes a hot drink of your choice — your first barista drink of the day is on us.

Doors open at 5:45am, 15 minutes before showtime — get there early to grab your coffee before the music starts.

Limited tickets available. Don't miss your chance to watch the last SUNRISE of the year while you dance.
