The Te Awamutu Rotary Christmas Parade has been held on Sunday for the last two years. After consultation with stake holders, the decision has been made to revert to a Saturday parade for this years parade.
The committee is excited to host the event, after such an amazing event last year. The parade in 2023 was such a success with some great floats and a lovely crowd watching.
Te Awamutu Rotary is very grateful for the support we receive from local business and organisation including Te Awamutu Army Cadets, Subway, McDonalds, Devoy Signs and Graphics, NZME, Wilks Penny Motorcycles, Te Awamutu Lions and many more. These people have real Christmas spirit and make the task of hosting this event so much easier.
The Te Awamutu Rotary Christmas Parade committee has started planning for the event, with a focus on hosting a safe and fun event for the whole community.
We are anticipating judging to be extremely difficult because of the effort and quality of the floats entered.
The Te Awamutu Rotary Christmas Parade is run entirely by volunteers who enjoy helping spread the Christmas spirit of Peace and Goodwill to our community.

Rotary and the United Nations have a shared history of working toward peace and addressing humanitarian issues around the world.
During World War II, Rotary informed and educated members about the formation of the United Nations and the importance of planning for peace. Materials such as the booklet “From Here On!” and articles in The Rotarian helped members understand the UN before it was formally established and follow its work after its charter.
Many countries were fighting the war when the term “United Nations” was first used officially in the 1942 “Declaration by United Nations.” The 26 nations that signed it pledged to uphold the ideals expressed by the United States and the United Kingdom the previous year of the common principles “on which they based their hopes for a better future for the world.”
