The Farmers Santa Parade is celebrating its 86th birthday in 2019, promising some of the best celebrations yet.
New floats, giant inflatables, musicians, entertainment groups galore and Santa himself!
If you want to head in early to get the best spot, there will be pre-parade entertainment from 12pm.
Farmers Santa Parade is a proud supporter of Paralympics New Zealand, who will be out on the parade route ahead of the big event, so make sure to bring along some gold coins for their bucket collection.
Parade route
===========
The parade starts on Mayoral Drive before heading down Queen Street and ending on Customs St East.
To avoid the crowds, grab a spot-on Mayoral Drive; the view’s great and its way less busy than downtown. There might even be space to lay out your picnic blanket!
Whatever position you choose, make sure to keep safe and sit behind the blue honour line painted along the parade route.
Getting there
===========
Inner city roads will be closed between 11am and 5pm, so make sure to arrive before 11am if you’re driving to avoid traffic and take advantage of free parking available at the Downtown and Victoria Street Auckland Transport car parks (for cars parked before 11am and exited between 2pm and 6pm).
Buses and trains are also a great option to get there. For bus, train and ferry schedules and fares, visit at.govt.nz/bus-train-ferry or call the AT Public Transport Contact Centre on 09 366 6400.
Rain date
========
The 2019 festivities will take place on Sunday 24 November, 1pm. However, if it’s raining cats and dogs, the parade will be postponed to Sunday 1 December.
Santa's Party
===========
2.30pm-5.30pm | Aotea Square | FREE
After the parade, we will have an amazing stage entertainment line-up, excellent food, stalls, headliners PJ Masks and entertainment for the whole family at Santa's Party in Aotea Square from 2.30pm-5.30pm.

In short, my dear friend has recently come out of an almost year long mentally & physically abusive relationship & I am hoping to reach out to the masses to get her back on her feet.
Please click on the below link & check out my Give A Little page & donate if you wish to, but more so, again, only if you feel comfortable in doing so, please pass my below link onto anyone you know who would be happy to make a donation, even if it's only $1 or $2, if I can reach out to 5,000 people & they donate that small amount, my goal will have been reached & I would be able to spread some true Christmas joy to a family in need.
I am new to this Give A Little thing, but needed to do something to help someone very close to me, out of her current predicament. I have set up a Give A Little page for my friend & her young kids who have become victims of a situation that has left them homeless & with no car. If you wish to ask any questions or know more information I will reply to any messages I receive.
Below is the link to my Give a Little page:

Thank you sincerely for taking the time to read my post & please, even if it's only to 1 or 2 people you know who might also be willing to donate, passing my post/link on, will help me tremendously in my quest.
Sincerest Regards
Yvonne
