Town crier Dave Parker will welcome Santa Claus to Warkworth on the pontoon at Warkworth Wharf on Monday, December 21.

Santa will travel up the Mahurangi River on the “Little Jane” – the landing craft for the Jane Gifford. He is due to arrive at 1pm.

Children are invited to come along, join in the welcome and follow Santa through Queen Street singing Christmas carols.

Mr Parker says it’s a real joy to be able to welcome Santa to Warkworth at last, following the cancelling of the traditional Warkworth Santa Parade this year due to Covid-19.

He says it will be a pleasure to see more Christmas spirit here.
