After a significant electrical storm on Friday night, the skies cleared and the Te Puke Christmas Parade went ahead.

The parade ran smoothly with many special vehicles joining the line up, many sports clubs and businesses got into the Christmas spirit, says EPIC Te Puke marketing manager Rebecca Larsen.

"The Seeka Te Puke Christmas Float Parade, originally set to run on 1 December, but could not due to bad weather - got to shine on Dec 15th.
