Register your float for the 2018 Santa Parade
Get your vocal chords ready and start planning your wonderful float! The theme of the Upper Hutt 2018 Santa Parade is ‘Christmas Carols’. We'll be bringing sweet sounds to Main Street on Sunday 2 December at 3:00 pm.
An invitation is extended to all business and community groups operating in Upper Hutt to join this community event and enter a ‘Christmas Carols’-themed float in the parade. Think Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer rolling down the street, Snoopy’s Christmas flying in for a visit, or Jingle Bells rocking the block!
There is a $1,000 prize for the float that best reflects the theme of ‘Christmas Carols’ and a $250 prize for the People’s Choice Award, voted on social media in the week following the parade. Get creative and start planning your best Christmas Carols float idea and put it to your school, club or your boss to make it a reality!

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
