The Trustpower Christmas Parade is just days away!

Registrations to be in the parade have now closed and there are more than 50 groups, floats, dancers, singers, walkers and performers who will make up the 2019 Trustpower Christmas Parade.

'There are some very exciting new additions to the parade this year including a Harry Potter themed float created by the community and communications team at Trustpower,” says Downtown Tauranga parade manager Millie Newitt.

'Trustpower is the naming right sponsor of our city centre Christmas Parade and they are always very engaged in this fantastic community event and we can't wait to see their creation this year.

'Plus, everyone's favourite characters will be joining the parade including Elsa and Anna from Frozen, Batman, princesses, pirates, Drogon and a new float… which you will have to come to the parade on November 30 to see!”

Stay in the city after the parade for the annual CCS Disability Action Tauranga's ‘Celebrate Us' concert on the Tauranga waterfront. Be entertained by talented performers through music, dance, kapa haka and more. The Little Big Markets will also be on the waterfront for you to enjoy, plus there will be face painting, and of course your chance to meet Santa and some of the other characters from the parade thanks to cosplay.

Head to this fantastic family event in the city centre on November 30 at 11am and celebrate the start of the Christmas season.
