Warkworth Santa Parade organisers say this year’s event will be bigger and better, with more people stepping forward to support the November 26 parade.
Organiser Nicola Jones says floats will run the circuit of Neville Street, Queen Street and Mill Lane from 1pm.
It’s no secret that sometimes fake Santa’s have to step in for the big guy in the red suit, but Nicola is promising the real Mr S Claus.
“We have the real Santa, that’s why he looks so realistic, because it is him!” Nicola says.
There are five float-judging categories for schools, community groups, businesses and a people’s choice award, with $200 up for grabs.
Prizegiving will take place at 2.30pm, followed by a lolly scramble.
There will also be performances from local dance groups.
Nicola says there is still space for new entries, and they are always keen to hear from anyone that can volunteer on the day.
