SUNDAY: NOVEMBER 28: Thousands of people lined the streets of Hamilton this evening to watch the annual Santa Claus Parade.

The event, put on by the MarketPlace, included 32 performances including the Hot Peppers majorettes, the Devonshire Ultimate Star Twirlers and Drum Core.

People of all ages joined in on the festivities including Takara Dill and her ten month old son Coli. “It’s been great. Everyone looks happy to be performing, its hard to choose just one I like.”

Charles Kasmer, who enjoyed the parade with his daughter, said: “It’s very nice. I just like the festivities and everyone looks happy.”

Twelve-year-old Caroline Frias said: “I liked when the dancers came and I liked when they gave me candies. I had fun.”
