The Santa Parade in Nelson this year is exceeding expectations of the organisers with about 60 floats expected to take part on Sunday.
Hayden Rose, alongside long-serving event MC Murray Leaning, stepped in to revive the event after it was cancelled by the Nelson City Council in October.
A new trust has been formed to manage the event with a number of volunteers.
Rose said the response to the event, which is being sponsored by The Hits radio station, has been fantastic.
