Entries are now open for the 2025 Mini Float Competition! We are calling on children in South Australia to get creative and design a mini float that will be built and showcased in the 2025 National Pharmacies Christmas Pageant.
Thanks to National Pharmacies there is over $1,000 cash to be won.
Relive the joy and watch the National Pharmacies Christmas Pageant anytime on demand on 9Now right up until Christmas Day.
There will also be an Australia wide replay on Channel 9 at 6:00am on Christmas morning.
Since 1933, the National Pharmacies Christmas Pageant has grown to become one of Australia's most cherished events, celebrated every November with the support of National Pharmacies and the South Australian Tourism Commission's events arm, Events South Australia.
As the Southern Hemisphere's largest public parade, it marks the official welcoming of Father Christmas to Australia, with the man in red greeted by well over 320,000 excited parade-goers in 2023 waving their favourite floats by from behind the 'Blue Honour Line'.
National Pharmacies is the title sponsor of the Christmas Pageant, and a proud South Australian organisation. Since opening its first dispensary in Adelaide in 1911, National Pharmacies has expanded to 51 pharmacies across South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales, and 20 Optical Stores in South Australia and is proud to partner with the event to continue captivating generations of Australian children.
