Parkes Annual Christmas Parade & Carnival

Type: Community Event
Date: 04 Dec 2009
Location: Clarinda Street and Cooke Park, Parkes
Time: 18:15

Registrations Now Open for the Christmas Street Parade & Carnival in the Park

The countdown is on to Christmas and the Parkes Chamber of Commerce and Rotary Club of Parkes are well underway with plans for the annual Street Parade and Carnival.

The community event will take place on Friday 4 December with the Street Parade kicking off at 6.15pm and the Carnival in Cooke Park to directly follow. Businesses and community groups are encouraged to enter a float in this year's parade which will begin in Clarinda Street at Cunninghams IGA. Prizes are on offer for 'Best Dressed Float' so get out the tinsel and ribbon and start getting creative.

All parade entrants must complete a registration form which outlines the requirements and guidelines for float and walking entries. Registration forms are available from Halls Jewellers in Clarinda Street and must be returned by Friday 27 November.

After the parade, the fun will continue in Cooke Park with a range of stalls and amusements to keep the whole family entertained. Come along and enjoy the cool surrounding of the grounds and carnival atmosphere where there will be children's amusements, arts and crafts, chocolate wheels with great prizes and a large selection of food and drinks available. There will also be fun competitions including the 'Meals on Wheels Christmas Pudding Cook Off' and the 'Best Decorated Christmas Gumboot'.

Anyone interested in booking a stall site for the Carnival in the Park can contact Chris McQuie on 02 6862 1022 during business hours or download an application form below. All applications must be submitted no later than Monday 23 November 2009.

The Christmas Street Parade and Carnival in the Park is a community event for the people of Parkes and surrounding districts to celebrate the festive season and support the many charity, community and service clubs within our Shire. Bring the family for a great night out and get in the Christmas spirit at the Parkes Christmas Carnival in the Park.
