Experience the magical atmosphere at the 93^rd edition of the Southern Hemisphere largest public parade, from 9:30am in the Adelaide CBD, marking the official start of the festive season.

Bring your biggest smiles and waves as Emma Memma will sing and sign on the colourful Christmas in ToyTown float, helping to spread joy to the thousands attending and watching from home on the Channel 9 broadcast.
