The 2012 Christmas Pageant parade in Adelaide is a whopper. Three hundred and twenty thousand people line the city streets to watch dancers, bands, clowns and every kind of children’s float you can imagine run through the center of downtown. This parade is for and about children. Founded eighty years ago some of the floats are still in use (like the elephant you see in this photo.) Here are some of the sights we saw while standing on the sidewalk on King William Street, the main street of Adelaide.
