The Christmas carnival in Adelaide is known as the largest Christmas parade in the world. The pre-Christmas period begins long before December 25. For two or three weeks, people start to choose gifts and music is heard from every corner. Already in mid-November in Adelaide, a grand Christmas Parade takes place, which marks the beginning of preparations for the holiday. Locals celebrate Christmas with a picnic, homemade dinner or a barbecue, as far as hot weather allows spending time outside. During Christmas Parade, many spectators gather in the Norwood area. People come to see this festive procession with whole families. Children and adults watch with curiosity how groups of adults and children pass through them, depicting scenes of the Gospel events, heroes of famous books, representatives of ethnic communities in national costumes, pupils of schools, scouts, dance groups and musical orchestras.
