The event kicks off tomorrow with all-day entertainment in Westborough from local bands and entertainers.

There will also be a snow machine to put shoppers in a festive mood and create a special atmosphere.

Sunday sees the arrival of Santa who will lead a magical parade with his reindeers and sleigh.

He will be accompanied by two lucky Evening News competition winners, seven-year-old Shannon Leighton, of Raleigh Street, and Ben Standaloft, of Caledonia Street, also seven, who will ride along in his sleigh.

The parade will start at Queen Street at 1pm. It will travel up the town to Alma Square and once there, the reindeers will be unharnessed and people can look at the animals and ask the handlers questions.

The parade, which will be followed by music and entertainment, will form the finale of this year’s Winter Wonderland weekend.

Other events organised by Scarborough’s Town Centre Management on the run-up to Christmas include the arrival of the Three Kings on their camels.

The parade, on Sunday December 21, will also start from Queen Street at 1pm.

It will proceed through Newborough and Westborough to the Live Nativity outside Woolworths where Mary and Joseph and the baby Jesus to-gether with shepherds and donkeys will greet them.

This will be followed with carols by the Hunmanby Silver Band and free mince pies.
