Contact Grand Procession

Fri 26 Sep 2025, 11:40 PM - Sat 27 Sep 2025, 11:40 PM

Centennial Avenue, Alexandra, New Zealand

In 2024, thousands of people lined the streets for the Contact Grand Parade as an array of trucks, floats, florreys, marching and pipe bands, street performers, and community groups made their way down Alexandra’s Centennial Ave.


A vibrant, colorful display dazzled onlookers, with Rainbow Fish, Kung Fu Panda, Lego characters, BMX bikers, Steampunk enthusiasts, and cultural groups wowing the crowd. Children cheered as floats featuring princesses and a prince passed by, adding a touch of pageantry to the parade.


Olympic silver medallist Nicole Shields also took part, riding in a red Bentley adorned with Olympic rings, accompanied by excited children from Clyde Primary School. In the afternoon, she made her way through Pioneer Park, warmly engaging with the crowds who stopped to congratulate her.
