Farmers Santa Parade 2025
Experience the magic of Christmas like never before as the Farmers Santa Parade returns for its 92nd year!
This year’s Parade will feature grand floats, lively marching bands, treasured characters, dazzling costumes, and The Enchanted Woodland float; a whimsical fairytale scene of mushroom houses, butterflies, and woodland creatures.
Plus, everyone’s favourite pup! Bluey, starring on her very own float and the jolly man himself – Santa Claus!
But the fun doesn’t end there. After the Parade head over to Santa’s Party with Jono, Ben, and Megan in Aotea Square, with incredible stage entertainment, amusement rides, delicious food, and activities for the whole family.
