Auckland Santa Parade 2014
30th November 2014
"Auckland Santa Parade 2014"
Before the parade
I took these about an hour and a half before the parade was due to start. I was expecting there to be a lot more things happening, as last year's parade - Auckland Santa Parade 2013 - had bands playing and people with Christmassy or TV themed balloons and groups entertaining the waiting crowds. There were two bands that appeared to be setting up seats and preparing to play so I might have been a little too early this year.

The floats
I found the floats before the parade again this year and took another set of photos. Most of these were taken about an hour or so before the parade started.

The parade
I took these photos during the parade itself. I was on Albert street close to the end of the parade route again.
