Credit Union Christmas Pageant 2011

Join the excited families and line the 3.3 kilometre route in Adelaide''s city centre to welcome the colourful and exciting Credit Union Christmas Pageant - the traditional welcome to the festive season.

Get your spot early in the morning, you''ll be amazed at "early birds" and the Christmas spirit. Watch the amazing parade of storybook floats, listen to the marching bands and to wave to Father Christmas.

From humble beginnings of just eight horse drawn floats and four bands, the event has grown to include 57 floats, 14 bands, dancing groups, clowns and walking sets. Watch as more than 1,700 people play the part of characters, dancers, musicians and drivers in the pageant. More than 200 extra volunteers work behind the scenes to make the pageant possible.

Credit Union Christmas Pageant is a family event.

The fun begins on Saturday 12 November. Enjoy the spirit of Christmas and community.
