The festivities will continue until Christmas Day, so you can enjoy the festive cheer for weeks to come!
- Christmas Festival of Lights at Adventure Park
From this month until January 1st 2023, you can enjoy a sight of over 1000 spectacular light displays at Geelong’s Adventure Park , bringing Christmas and fairy tales to life. Visit the Elf Workshop and write up your Christmas wishlist for Santa before sending it off to the North Pole. Who knows, maybe even Santa himself will make an appearance?
With so many festivities and a wide range of exciting rides and attractions, for those close by, Geelong’s Adventure Park is a must-visit.
- Carols by Candlelight
Held on December 24th, Carols by Candlelight, which has been running for 85 years, is a magical Melbourne event where you and your family can watch various incredible performers sing all of your favourite Christmas carols. Funds raised from donations, ticket, and candle sales will be donated to Vision Australia’s children services, making the festivities even more special and meaningful.
- Myer Christmas Windows
The Myer Christmas Windows have enthralled Australian families for generations. The storefront window display is located in the middle of Bourke Street Mall on Myer’s southern frontage. The Christmas-themed display, which began in 1956, has since become a Melbourne Christmas tradition. Many parents and grandparents who remember going to the windows as children pass on the tradition to their own children. Each year, the design and theme are always different, making it a must-visit attraction and a wonderful addition to your Christmas traditions.
