Thousands lined Alexandra's Centennial Ave for the Blossom Festival Grand Parade today.
Trucks, tractors, classic cars, blossom floats and florries (trolley floats) made their way down the main road towards Pioneer Park.
Blossom Festival princesses, the Senior Queen, Central Otago Mayor Tony Lepper and town criers were among those in the parade greeting crowds, as well as pipe bands and entertainers.
Afterwards crowds started to make their way into Pioneer Park for Saturday in the Park for an afternoon of sun, entertainment, and rides.
