The streets of Adelaide come to a standstill on pageant day in November each year, when hundreds of thousands of people converge on the city to watch a procession of fairytale floats weave their colourful and magical way past, heralding the start of the Christmas season. Father Christmas has arrived in Adelaide in this traditional manner since the first pageant in 1933, helped along by South Australia's credit unions and the state government. The pageant is now the largest of its kind in the world.

Venue: The procession begins on the corner of King William Street and South Terrace and winds its way through the streets, finishing at the �landing stage� on Adelaide Central Plaza, at North Terrace
