Poll: Have you ever been in Hamilton's Christmas parade?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Santa’s sleigh will still roll through Hamilton this December — but for the first time, community groups will need to pay to be part of the parade.

Organisers of the First Credit Union Christmas Parade have introduced a $50 entry fee for groups wanting to put a float on show, alongside a $300 charge for businesses. Schools will still be able to enter free.
