The Paihia Christmas Parade is back with the theme “The Circus Is Coming to Town” Schools, businesses, clubs, and community groups are invited to enter a free circus-themed float.
Join the celebration as schools, businesses, clubs, and community groups transform the streets of Paihia with colourful, creative floats inspired by the theme “The Circus Is Coming to Town.” Think bright costumes, clowns, acrobats, ringmasters, circus animals, and all the magic and excitement of the big top.
The parade promises a fantastic evening of festive fun for all ages, featuring Santa and his helpers, the much-loved lolly scramble, and entertainment from Polly Pop It the Clown, who will delight crowds with her unique mix of clowning, magic, and bubbles. Local shops, cafés, and restaurants will also be open, adding to the vibrant community atmosphere.
Whether you're entering a float or coming along to enjoy the festivities, the parade is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate Christmas, showcase community spirit, and create lasting memories with whānau and friends.
