奧克蘭聖誕遊行是奧克蘭其中之一最受歡迎且長達80年之久的聖誕活動。這個活動是在1934年由農夫百貨的創始人Robert Laidlaw 推行，主要目的是當成禮物送給城裡的孩童。
Auckland Farmers Santa Parade is one of the most popular Christmas event in Auckland which lasted 80 years! This event was first introduced by farmer founder, Robert Laidlaw in 1934 for a gift for the children in the city.
雖然遊行當天人擠到爆炸，但實在有太多理由不得不到市區參加這個具有歷史性的活動。在當天中午到六點前開車進市區可以免費停車，但要注意的是會有道路封閉。或者也可以"免費"坐火車進市區，謝謝聖誕老公公，栗與維尼光是當天就省了至少20元紐幣!
There are lots of reasons coming to downtown Auckland for this historic event although it's way too crowded on the Parade day. You can drive to downtown and get free parking between midday to 6pm but be aware of road closure. Alternatively, take a train to town for FREE. Thank Santa Claus that my partner and I saved at least NZD$ 20.
這個活動越變越大且越來有有名，每年的聖誕遊行都在11月底舉行，遊行路行長達2.2公哩，從Cook St. 與 Mayoral Dr的交叉路口開始，遊行結束後緊接著還會有一個為時2小時的聖誕Party在Aotea Square. 上千人為了這個聖誕的節慶遊行沿著奧克蘭街道排排站，因此最好就是早一點來搶到看遊行的好位置。
This event has been getting bigger and more well-known ever since. The annual Farmers Santa Parade is held in the end of November. The Parade Route is 2.2kms long starting from the corner of Cook St. and Mayoral Dr. and takes around 1-1.5 hours. The parade is followed by a 2 hour Santa's Party in Aotea Square. Thousands of people line the streets of the Auckland for this grand festival parade so it's better to come earlier to get a place to grab a view of the parade.
企業贊助商當然不會錯過這大好機會的營行來作品牌曝光，因此對初來紐西蘭的人也可以對紐西蘭企業有一點點點點想法。想要對成千的遊行觀眾揮揮手嗎?當然也可以申請加入遊行的義工來有一個難忘的體驗。
Enterprise sponsor wouldn't miss this great chance to join this parade for brand exposure therefore newcomer could get some ideas about NZ biz. Wanna wave hands to thousands of audience? you could also get an unforgettable experience by becoming the parade volunteer.
結論
這是栗維尼第一次在南半球度過夏天版超熱聖誕節!有80年歷史之久的聖誕遊行是來奧克蘭必看的活動。當然也可以參加遊行義工成為一種必玩活動唷!
On the final note, our first time to enjoy the ho-ho hot christmas in the southern hemisphere of the earth ! Auckland christmas parade with 80 year long tradition is a must-see and it also could be a must-do by becoming the parade volunteer.
