Christmas parade date set
Event set for Sunday to help retailers make most of the season ahead of December 25
Te Awamutu Rotary in partnership with Coresteel Buildings Waikato, and with support from Waipā District Council and Te Awamutu Community Board, has opened entries for this year’s Rotary Christmas Parade on Sunday, December 3.
This year’s theme is Candyland: bright colours, Christmas-themed candies, Gingerbread men/women and houses etc.
There are three categories: Commercial/Businesses, Service Clubs and Societies, Children and Youth.
The Te Awamutu Rotary Christmas Parade committee will continue with a decision made last year to hold the parade on a Sunday, to help retailers maximise shopping days leading up to Christmas.
The committee is excited to host the event, after such an amazing event last year.
The parade in 2022 was such a success with some great floats and a lovely crowd watching.
Te Awamutu Rotary is very grateful for the support we receive from local business and organisations such as Te Awamutu Army Cadets, Honda Shop, Subway, McDonalds, Devoy
Signs and Graphics, NZME, Wilks Penny Motorcycles, Te Awamutu Lions and many more.
These people have real Christmas spirit and make the task of hosting this event so much easier.
The committee is very focused on hosting a safe and fun event.
They are anticipating judging to be extremely difficult because of the effort and quality of the floats entered.
The Te Awamutu Rotary Christmas Parade is run entirely by volunteers who enjoy helping spread the Christmas spirit of Peace and Goodwill to our community.
The parade will start at 11am.
