Nelson is transformed with colour and noise and fantastic floats from noon on 3rd of December as the Port Nelson Santa Parade takes to the streets.

Directly after the parade the 2nd Christmas Carnivale will be launched at Founders Park from 2pm.

Loads of stalls and lots of great activities for the children.Santa will be there if you need to pass on your requests.

The Santa Parade Committee is again planning for a huge family day to take place.

There will be music, performers, Xmas gifts, rides, foodstalls, treats, games and tap dance demonstations . Come along and find that unique gift for someone or some local treats to adorn your table.

There are places left if you want to have a stall or be involved in some way
