The festive season is fast approaching, and the good news for the Parkes community is that the Christmas Parade and Carnival will be back on Friday, 2nd December!
It’s been a long two years without the Christmas Parade, which makes this year’s event extra exciting and special. The parade kicks off the festive cheer in the shire and sets the tone for the rest of the celebrations.
Organised by the Action Club Parkes, the Parkes Shire Council has agreed to fund the cost of road closures and putting up the barricades to keep everyone safe.
So, it is time to start planning your float for the parade or a stall for the carnival, and make a date with your friends and family to come and enjoy the school choirs and entertainment.
There will be plenty of activities for everyone and lots of food and local gift stalls to start your local Christmas shopping.
See you at Cooke Park on 2nd December!
