Te Aroha is due for their Santa visit on December 19 and the following day is Matarangi Santa Parade.
Go Waihi are holding their Christmas parade this Saturday. Stalls on offer include nick-nacks, antiques, homemade aprons, clothing, plants, bath and body products, soap for dogs, beeswax wraps and lip balm.
Sarah Spicer will be singing outside town hall and Waihi Women's Choir will sing Christmas carols outside ANZ bank.
Co-organiser
Sacha Urlich says the float requests are rolling in and this year is looking like a good one. Floats often show up on the day so they can't be sure of numbers, she says.
''This is a time to celebrate, to get out and about after such an interesting year and to celebrate as a community.''
Whangamata Lions Club also have their Santa parade on Saturday at 3pm.
Organisers ask people to think about showcasing your group, organisation, schools or club to the Whangamata community by entering a float.
Geoff March from Whangamata Lions says the float doesn't have to be a professionally built creation, ''it's all about the fun of making something as a team''.
There's also the Christmas Tree Forest event at the RSA from December 17-19.
