The Paihia Christmas Parade 2022
December 2, 2022 @ 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm
Paihia Christmas Parade – 2nd Dec 2022, 5.30pm
Theme – Board Games
The Paihia Christmas Parade is always spectacular with plenty of effort going into the floats creating a fabulous festive atmosphere.
It is free to enter a float. You can enter under community or the business section. The whole aim of the day is just to have fun and celebrate our lovely town and Christmas.
Santa will be there with the famous lolly scramble.
All the shops, cafes and restaurants open. A great night out!
Email – info@paihianz.co.nz to register a float and get the relevant documentation. Free to enter!
You don’t have to adhere to the theme – if you just want to join in the parade with a Christmas float that is fine. Please no Santa’s on your float – there is only one Santa!
CARING FOR OUR ENVIRONMENT
Ways we can do this are to avoid balloons, tinsel, glitter and plastic of any kind, and to use recycled and repurposed items where you can. Many floats are made with cardboard and flora so we are in a good position already! It’s great to take a lead especially when so many of our local children are increasingly invested in caring for the environment and being awarded with enviro certifications. This can be challenging and we just want people to try their best. No-one will be criticised for what they do or not do.
