Join the Parade - Sunday 7th Dec 2025!

The annual First Credit Union Christmas Parade is a must do Christmas experience. Would you like to be part of this year’s First Credit Union Parade in Hamilton?

Here’s why you should enter your Business, Club, Community Group or School:

  • It’s an annual event with 20,000 attendees to showcase your brand
  • Participating fosters community spirit and shows you care about local events, enhancing your reputation
  • Build team spirit and create a sense of camaraderie with staff and families to be part of the Christmas fun
  • Generate excitement on social media before, during, and after

This year, we have introducing a small administration fee for businesses and groups to help support the dedicated team and volunteers who work behind the scenes to safely deliver the First Credit Union Hamilton Christmas Parade. As a not-for-profit organisation, HCCT relies on community support to cover essential costs like traffic management, float logistics, safety planning, and communication with over 70+ entries. This contribution helps ensure we can continue delivering a magical, safe and well-organised event for the whole community.
