At 9:30am on Saturday 10 November, the whistle will blow to signal the beginning of the 2018 Credit Union Christmas Pageant- the 86th year of the Pageant!
Marked as one of the most iconic events on the South Australian calendar, thousands of people from near and far line the city streets to welcome Father Christmas to Adelaide. There are over 172 bright and colourful sets to feast your eyes on, including, floats, bands, dancers and clowns.
