2023 Port Adelaide Christmas Parade: Business & Organisations bringing cheers to kids

Merry Christmas! The Christmas pageant in Port Adelaide is huge and has been going on for I think for 30 years. It hasn't run since Covid so this is the first one. We have about 30,000 people so it's huge for the city of Port Adelaide Enfield. I think it's the second biggest in South Australia. There's 55 groups taking part so there's going to be a lot of people on foot as well so there's a huge array of people will come along and join in. We're part of the Port Adelaide community. We want to have a lot of fun with the community members. Well the clipper ship was an 1864 built vessel that used to bring migrants here in the early parts of the colony. Merry Christmas! We are showing the Port Adelaide community the beauty of Falun Dafa. Falun Dafa is an ancient Chinese cultivation way to improve oneself. Merry Christmas! We're from the Largs Bay Sailing Club and we are a local sailing club on the coast at Largs Bay who teaches kids to sail and grown-ups alike and we're here to spread the Christmas joy and let everybody know how great sailing is. Yeah to make Christmas more joy and wonderful. So we're from Nazareth College the primary school so this is our Osh so we'll have about 30 kids from Osh and families. Kids will be dressed up as angels as elves or as presents so we've basically designed boxes with the kids and that they use as their sort of their outfit so yeah it'll be pretty cool. Merry Christmas! I'm from Feros Care. We work for people with the NDIS in the Port Adelaide region. Merry Christmas! St John Ambulance Historical Society. We are here for the preservation and the maintaining of the history of the St John Ambulance and it's important that too it gives people the insight on the type of vehicles we've used over the years.
