University of Canterbury Graduation Parade

To celebrate the over 3,000 students graduating from University of Canterbury | Te Whare Wānanga o Waitaha in 2025, we’re holding a street parade through the central city.

The parade will assemble in Hack Circle on the corner of Cashel and High Streets, and will process along Cashel Street, Oxford Terrace, before finishing in Victoria Square.

The procession will be led by Nor'west Brass and livestreamed on the University of Canterbury Facebook page.

We encourage and welcome everyone to join us in lining the streets and showing your support of our graduating students and their achievements.
