There are less than two weeks to go before registrations close for the 2019 Devonport Christmas Parade with Thursday 28 November the last day.

This year the Christmas Parade, to be held on Friday 6 December at 6.30 p.m., will traverse a route taking in James Street, Victoria Parade, Bluff Road and Clements Street.

It will be a shorter and flatter route than previous years, and people are encouraged to consider entering a walking float.

Those wishing to enter a float can find a registration form at https://www.devonport.tas.gov.au/2019-christmas-parade-registrations-now-open/ and return it to Council at PO Box 604 Devonport TAS 7310 or via email to [email protected]
