Santa is set to show his magical dexterities tomorrow as he and his reindeer sleigh their way through three Western Bay of Plenty towns, spreading Christmas cheer and goodwill to all.

Te Puke, Tauranga and Katikati will all get a glimpse of the jolly red man tomorrow, with each destination hosting annual Christmas parades down their main streets.

Te Puke's parade starts at 10am through Jellicoe St, then Santa will speed his sleigh full throttle to downtown Tauranga for the Trustpower Christmas Parade starting at 11am.

This parade travels down Devonport Rd from Second Ave to Harrington St, with various road closures in place, and children's rides, face-painting and a sausage sizzle on The Waterfront from 10.30am-3pm.

Then it will be Katikati's turn to see Santa at 3pm. Hosted by the Katikati Lions Club, this year's parade theme ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas'.

The Parade travels from Earl Drive down Main St before looping back up to Fairview Rd to Moore Park for Santa in the park children's activities and a Christmas Variety Concert.

Jacqui says the concert will see Katikati Folk Club perform, as will young local musicians, Louie Campbell and Andrew Hannigan, formerly of band Zuhana who now call themselves LA.

'And Santa will be at Moore Park about 5.45pm with a lolly scramble and good cheer.”

Katikati Lions will run their traditional quickfire raffles, the town's night owls will have a fundraiser, and Katikati Rugby and Sports Club will sell refreshments including their popular hot chips.

This year the town is going 'all out” for the holiday season with a brand new Christmas tree towering beside the war memorial hall, sculpture Barry pushing his own sleigh beside the library and a variety concert to follow the town's parade.

Katch Katikati promotions manager Jacqui Knight is responsible for the new tree after securing $15,000 of TECT funding for it last year.

'We're going all out this year – we've even got the Christmas flags up in town,” says Jacqui.
