# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Hāwera Christmas Parade 2026  
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 12 Dec, 2026 at 12:00 pm (+13:00)
- **Event Description**: Hāwera Christmas Parade 2026  
Theme: Country Christmas  
Saturday 12 December, 12pm

Saddle up, dust off the red bands, and get ready for a good old‑fashioned Country Christmas in the heart of Hāwera. 

Think tractors dressed for the holidays, straw‑stacked trailers, cowboy hats, gingham, denim, rustic charm and a touch of yee‑haa magic rolling down the street.

All parade vehicles are to meet in the Napier Street Carpark for judging at approx. 11am.

Parade entrants, please bring a hat and water; a country Christmas can get warm under the midday sun.

Giving us a heads‑up about what you’re planning is hugely appreciated; it helps us wrangle the line‑up properly and keep everyone safe. 

Note: This isn’t the day for running giant trucks through the parade to advertise, especially if they’re not decorated or don’t bring any Christmas or country spirit. If a vehicle isn’t part of a genuine float or doesn’t add to the theme, please leave it at home. 

If you wish to showcase a vehicle, please contact the organiser in advance. We may be able to match you with a float partner, ensuring your vehicle contributes to the Country Christmas theme rather than appearing as an undecorated advertisement.

Please email theteam@bizlinkhawera.co.nz for a registration form and a copy of the rules.

Country Christmas Parade Prizes $400 awarded to each category:

Best Community Float
Best Business Float
Best Christmas‑Themed Float

If any category has only two entries, a second‑place prize may be awarded to another category at the judges’ discretion.
