Santa Parade || We need you!

Upper Hutt City Council

It's that time of year again as float registrations are now open for the 2021 Upper Hutt Santa Parade! It's time to celebrate ‘The magic of Christmas!' 🎁🎅🏼

Do you remember Christmas time as a child? The excitement? The anticipation? The Christmas season seems to carry it’s own sense of magic and wonder—and that’s our theme for this year. The parade will make its way down Main Street on Sunday 5 December from 3.00 pm.

There is a $1,000 prize for the float that best reflects the ‘Magic of Christmas’ theme, and a $250 prize for the People’s Choice Award, voted for by the public on our Facebook page in the week following the parade.

To register, please head to: www.upperhuttcity.com/Community/Events/Santa-Parade
