Myer Christmas 2008

Saturday 15 November, 11am

You'd better watch out, you’d better not cry... Santa Claus IS coming to town. With his cheeks like roses and a belly like a bowl full of jelly, St Nick will take time out of his busy Christmas schedule to star in the parade, Myer’s gift to the people of Melbourne.

Joining Santa will be the face of Myer, Jennifer Hawkins, as well as a cavalcade of celebrities, sporting identities and community groups.

The Myer Christmas Parade will bring the city to a standstill on Saturday 15 November at 11am. Starting at Spring Street and making its way into the Bourke Street Mall at the front of the iconic Myer Melbourne building.

Last year, tens of thousands of people packed the city to cheer on Santa, the performers and our celebrity guests.

This year’s parade will again feature giant life-sized floats, live music and entertainment, colourful marching bands, dancers, street performers, roving entertainers, acrobats and plenty of colour and movement.

Children will cheer on their favourite characters, including Sesame Street stars, Bob the Builder, Fifi, Kung Foo Panda and Bugs Bunny.

Everyone’s invited to share in the Myer Christmas Parade. Catch an early glimpse of Santa before he settles into Santaland at Myer until Christmas Eve.
