The Base
Basket Burn
The Base have teamed up with Balloons Over Waikato again to bring the Basket Burn to The Base.
What’s a ‘basket burn’ you ask? It’s a light show using hot air balloon gas burners choreographed to music! We’ll have food trucks onsite for family dinner, and of course the fiery basket burn display with great live music from The Monroes worth a boogie to!
THE BASE
The Base Shopping Centre will be open until 9pm so be sure to check out the shops.

PARKING
We know everyone wants to park as close to the action as possible, but due to limited parking availability, we recommend parking a little further away and walking. This will help ease congestion and make your arrival and departure smoother.
