What a day for the Mangawhai Santa Parade + Concert!
Stunning weather, a record turnout and great vibes! 🙌

Somebody I spoke to said it was the best local Xmas Parade they've ever been to (and she's been to a lot!), so well done everyone who took part, organised and performed. You're a credit to Mangawhai 🥰🙏

Have a safe and happy Christmas season, everyone! 🧑‍🎄🎅
