About

Father Christmas rides through Sants on a float full of lights and music, with the Banda i Majorets del Triangle de Sants and the tabalers (drummers) keeping the beat. Decorated floats, dancers and Christmas characters fill the neighborhood's shopping streets. A walk-up street parade that suits younger kids who love floats and a marching band, and an easy way to start the holidays with a stroll past the Christmas decorations.
