Experience the magic of Christmas like never before as the Farmers Santa Parade returns for its 92nd year!

This year’s Parade will feature grand floats, lively marching bands, treasured characters, dazzling costumes, and The Enchanted Woodland float; a whimsical fairytale scene of mushroom houses, butterflies, and woodland creatures.

Plus, everyone’s favourite pup! Bluey,  starring on her very own float and the jolly man himself – Santa Claus!

But the fun doesn’t end there. After the Parade head over to Santa’s Party with Jono, Ben, and Megan in Aotea Square, with incredible stage entertainment, amusement rides, delicious food, and activities for the whole family.

Join us on Sunday 30th November for a day of fun, laughter, and memories that will last a lifetime!

So, mark your calendars, grab your Santa hats, and get ready to experience a spectacle like no other at the Farmers Santa Parade.

Attendees are encouraged to arrive early to secure the perfect viewing spot for this cherished holiday tradition.
 
HOT TIP! Viewing the parade from Customs St East and Mayoral Drive is the perfect spot to be after the Parade and you can walk right through to the Santa’s After-Party
