Christmas cheer comes early at parade

Flagstaff Team

A large crowd flocked to the 14th annual Devonport Lions Santa Parade and Christmas Festival in sunny summer weather last weekend. Participants and spectators alike enjoyed the fun and festivities at the end of a challenging year.

The parade was followed by entertainment in Windsor Reserve, including music and dance performances, along with a craft and food market and sausage sizzle – and a chance to meet Santa himself.

Crowd pleaser… The guy in the red suit got the largest cheer as he rode a classic fire engine
Sitting pretty… Devonport School of Dance senior pupils on a float heading down Victoria Rd
Christmas colours… Stanley Bay School representives joined the parade in festive red and white
‘Be Prepared’ (for Christmas)… George Read (12) carried the flag for 1st Devonport Scouts
