After two years of cancellations due to heavy Covid-19 restrictions, the famous Auckland Farmers Santa Parade is back for its 89th edition this weekend.
The parade will get underway at 1pm on Sunday on Mayoral Drive, as per previous years, and head along Queen St before finishing on Customs St East.
The day will end with Santa’s party in Aotea Square, from 2.30pm until 5pm.
As a result, all inner city roads around the route will be closed between 11am and 5pm on Sunday.
People are advised to get into the city before 11am to avoid frustration with traffic and parking.
