New Plymouth Christmas Parade 2024
The Annual New Plymouth Christmas Parade is on Saturday 30 November starting at 1pm by the Clocktower on Devon St, New Plymouth. Santa and Mrs Claus will be escorted by our emergency services, drama groups, schools, cheerleaders and our Taranaki Rugby Union with the Ranfurly Shield and supporters! The Devon Brass Band and Caledonian Pipe Band will provide their usual Christmas Tunes.
There are prizes for best entries; School, Theme, or Community Group.
A pool of $4000 value will recognise outstanding entries, with sponsorship from Mediaworks MoreFM, Toyworld, Devon Hotel, Hardy Packaging and Pak'N'Save!
The organisers are still accepting entries; so if you have a group that wants to dance, cheer, entertain by walking or riding on a float, come join us! and support Santa as the Season of Goodwill gets underway!

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
