Rain couldn't stop the fun at the Kamo Christmas Parade and Festival
The threat of rain didn't deter the more than 2500 people who lined the streets of Kamo for the annual Kamo Village Christmas Parade and Festival.
The rain held off long enough for the man in the big red suit and the rest of the parade to make its waydown the road, but it did end the festival a bit early.
Santa and his helper Leon Weigersma, 9, wave at the crowd from the sleigh.
Jane Mander Retirement Village's giant Buzzy Bee won the float competition, followed by Kamo Childcare Centre's Pukeko in a Punga Tree and Steampunk Whangārei's Kraken's Lair.
Northern Advocate photographer Tania Whyte went along to capture the occasion.
