Motorists, get ready to make way for Santa Claus. The Kaimuki Christmas Parade will begin at 6 p.m. Dec. 4, marching on Waialae Avenue from the Saint Louis School/Chaminade campus to Koko Head Avenue and the municipal parking lot.

About 40 units and 1,500 marchers are expected on the one-mile walk, including area schools, scouts, lawmakers, businesses, fire-fighters, bands and pageant winners.
