Kiwi summer theme for annual parade

The Warkworth Santa Parade will take place in town on December 2, starting at 11am. Around 25 groups are set to complete two laps along Neville Street, Queen Street and Mill Lane, with judging to be done in the main street.

Those involved include the fire brigade, police and vintage car club.

One Warkworth manager Murray Chapman says the ‘kiwi summer’ theme will give the parade a local feel.

“However, don’t expect Santa to be wearing speedos!” Murray says.

He hopes Carols in the Park, on Friday, December 1, will get people into the spirit for the parade.
