We'll be Giving It Some Heart at the Christmas Parade!
Ho! Ho! Ho! The Christmas spirit is alive and well in Birmingham this winter when Father Christmas and his reindeer ride in to the City on Saturday 9th November from 5.30pm - closely followed by his elves and a host of spectacular festive characters.
Leaving from Victoria Square, the Christmas Parade makes its way through the heart of Birmingham City Centre - Colmore Row, Temple Row West, Temple Row, Bull Street, High Street, New Street – before finishing back in Victoria Square.
Leading the first of a small number of floats is a traditional nativity scene, closely followed by real camels carrying the three wise men. This year showcases the Christmas Pantomimes featuring Snow White, Peter Pan, Aladdin and many more.
Optimal viewing areas include Temple Row West, Temple Row and Bull Street. The Birmingham Christmas Parade is organised by Birmingham City Council.
