Auckland's Food Truck Collective is taking over the next edition of the Catalina Bay Farmers Market for a festive celebration filled with European fries and organic gelato.

Head along to the Hobsonville Point marketplace on Thursday, 17 December and try a selection of Auckland's best street food while browsing local stalls for Christmas gifts. Live music and entertainers will bring some yuletide cheer, and there'll be face painting and a jolly special guest for the kids.

The night on the wharf will feature Amaranto, Double Dutch Fries, Hapunan Filipino Cuisine, Lalele Organic Gelato, Lets Brezel, Olas, Sweet As Crepes, The Rolling Pin and Wood Spirit. Fremantle craft brewery Little Creatures is also around the corner for sit-down meals and fresh craft beer, too.
