Every year, thousands of people line a 3.3 kilometre route in Adelaide's city centre to welcome the colour and excitement of the Credit Union Christmas Pageant - the traditional herald to the festive season.
Families flock to the route early in the morning to join in the Christmas spirit, watch the amazing parade of storybook floats, listen to the marching bands, and to wave at Father Christmas.
From humble beginnings of just eight horse drawn floats and four bands, the event has grown so much so that the Credit Union Christmas Pageant now comprises 75 sets including 57 floats, 14 bands, dancing groups, clowns and walking sets. More than 1,700 people will make up the characters, dancers, musicians and drivers in the actual pageant with some 200 other volunteers working behind the scenes and a further 200 police and emergency fire services on hand.
First held in 1933, the Credit Union Christmas Pageant is a family event not to be missed.
Join in the fun on Saturday 14 November and enjoy the spirit of Christmas and community.
