Santa is back!

Published on 18 October 2022

Onkaparinga’s Christmas Pageant is back after two years off the road. 

And Santa will be there to wave at all the big and little kids along the way!

He will be joined by marching bands, dancers, clowns, a brilliant array of tinsel-clad boats and trucks, and some furry four-footed friends.

The pageant will be held on Sunday 4 December and it will kick off at 10am from the corner of Hunt Crescent and Beach Road at Christies Beach, before heading down Beach Road to the esplanade.

The fun continues in Rotary Park with Christmas in the Park, a free event with live music and entertainment, market stalls, and the opportunity to take a picture with Santa.

Acting Onkaparinga CEO Julia Grant welcomed the return of the pageant.

“This is one of the most joyful events we hold every year,” she said.

“It celebrates Onkaparinga’s generous community spirit. The parade is made up of amazing people from across our region including emergency services, surf life saving clubs, sporting clubs, schools and kindies, dance and arts academies, churches and local businesses.

“I encourage everyone to arrive before 10am and to remember their sunblock, hats and chalk.’
