Rangiora Toyota Santa Parade 2025
Sunday 7th December 2025 – Parade starts at 2pm!
Get ready, North Canterbury — the magic of Christmas is coming to town! The Rangiora Toyota Santa Parade returns on Sunday 7th December 2025, bringing festive cheer, creativity, and community spirit to the streets of Rangiora.
This beloved annual event is one of the largest Santa parades in the South Island outside of Christchurch, and every year it just keeps getting bigger and brighter. With colourful floats, cheerful music, and plenty of Christmas sparkle, it’s a celebration not to be missed!

About the Parade
The Rangiora Toyota Santa Parade 2025 is all about delighting our younger community and celebrating the spirit of togetherness that makes Rangiora so special. Each year, we’re amazed by the effort, imagination, and festive flair that go into every float — from shimmering snow scenes to dancing elves and reindeer on the move!
This year’s theme is “Christmas Galore”, so let’s make the streets of Rangiora burst with holiday joy. Think tinsel, twinkling lights, costumes, and all things Christmas — the brighter, the better!
