We are inviting participants to the 2013 Upper Hutt Santa Parade.  The parade starts at 3pm Saturday December 7.  This also coincides with the 2nd Street Appeal fundraising for the victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines, organized by the KASAGIP Charitable Trust.

The theme for this year’s parade is Christmas around the world.

So for the Philippines, we are expected to wear our colourful national costume/dress.
If you have drums you can play the better, to add some festivity.

Looking forward to hear from you.
