Kaiapoi Christmas Carnival and Santa Parade

Excitement, fun, and family entertainment.

Lion Foundation Kaiapoi Carnival: from 9:30am
Located on the East side of Williams Street between Hilton Street and Raven Quay.
The Carnival will be providing entertainment on the Community Stage and fun activities within the Free Family Fun Zone and a place to relax in the Chill Zone. Added to this is the KATS Show and Shine, favourite commercial and local vendors, with buskers thrown in for good measure.
Mix all these exciting ingredients together, and you have a cracker recipe for a highly enjoyable festive carnival.

McDonalds Kaiapoi Santa Parade: Starting at 1:30pm
Starting in Charles St opposite New World, the parade will travel West along Charles St and turn left into Williams St, then South along Williams Street, before turning East, to end on Hilton Street. Many
of the floats will remain on display in the Carnival afterward.

Always fun for all, and of course, who could forget the Big Man himself?
