Twas the moment before Santa arrived and all was quiet in Papamoa, before the jolly man dressed in red paid a visit to the suburb this afternoon.

The inaugural Pakn' Save Papamoa Santa Parade is underway, with 53 festive floats parading from Dickson Rd to Palm Beach Plaza.

Event manager Kate Percy says the parade is creating an 'electric” atmosphere in Papamoa.

'It's awesome. The festivities are fantastic, the floats are bigger and better than I could have possibly imagined.

'There's loads of people here, thousands upon thousands. It's absolutely electric, there's loads of music and dancing and it's all very festive.”
