Wellsford gets Christmas rolling


Kicking off the Christmas festivities this year is the much-loved Wellsford Santa Parade on Saturday November 26. Another casualty of Covid’s restrictions last year, which all but cancelled Christmas for some, it’s back to fill the streets of Wellsford with good cheer.

Starting at the Wellsford District Community Centre, the parade will cruise down Matheson Road, turn right down Olympus Road to the old railway station, where it will turn around and head back to the hall.

Judging is split into four categories – community, children, business and walking – with $250 for first prize, $150 for second and $100 for third place.

There will be a sausage sizzle, drinks, a coffee cart, home-cooked goodies, face-painting, lollies and Christmas Carols to round off the festivities.

And, of course, the guest of honour will be Santa himself. November 26 • 10.30am • Wellsford District Community Centre.
