On Saturday, the Salisbury Community Christmas Parade will give everyone the opportunity to wave to Santa and all participants as they travel from Pioneer Park on Commercial Road, down John Street, onto Gawler Street and finish near the Hoyts Cinemas. There will also be a smoking ceremony and multicultural performance, musical acts including Local Revolution, Michaela Jenke and the Three Amigos plus 1. Santa's Cave will be open for all to enjoy, along with a lego freeplay and colouring station, Hub tours, eSports featuring Smash Bros and Mario Kart, 3D printing exhibition, hologram display and roving entertainment.
