Hutt City Christmas Parade 2008

The Hutt City Christmas Parade is back on Saturday 29 November at 3pm.

The Christmas Parade is always a highlight of the holiday season, and brings many people out to the CBD.  Last year tens of thousands attended this event - be sure to come early to reserve a good spot to view the parade.

Before the parade check out the Hutt City Christmas Carnival in High Street.  There's something for everyone -  heaps of entertainment, food stalls, and of course a lively parade full of floats, musicians, and the big man himself...Santa Clause!

Gather up your work mates, get the community group or school together and take part in the parade.  It's a great way to show the pride of your organisation and join in on the festivities.  Applications are accepted until Novemeber 26th and may be downloaded by clicking the attachment below
