Timaru Santa Parade 2026

Get ready for some festive fun as the Timaru Santa Parade returns on Sunday 6 December 2026! Bringing the community together for Christmas, the parade will make its way from the Timaru CBD to Caroline Bay, with Santa and plenty of colourful floats, characters and Christmas cheer along the route.

The parade starts at 2pm, with rolling road closures in place before and during the event. Visitors are encouraged to plan ahead and allow extra time when travelling into and around the CBD.
