Santa and the Fairy Tale Christmas—join the fun!
Santa is coming to town! Elves, fairies, princesses, and knights will be among the fairy tale characters taking to the
Main Street of Upper Hutt for the much-loved Santa Parade.
UPPER HUTT, Wellington NZ, 18 SEP 2014—An invitation is extended to all businesses operating in Upper Hutt, community
groups, sports clubs, schools, and pre-schools to join the magic and enter a ‘Fairy Tale Christmas’ float in this year’s

The Upper Hutt Santa Parade is set to delight children and adults alike with this year’s magical theme of ‘Fairy Tale
Christmas.’ Joined by Ice Queen stilt walkers, jugglers, brass bands, floats, and of course Santa, this year the parade
will take place on Sunday 7 December, commencing at 3.00 pm, and travelling along the length of Main Street.
