Adelaide’s Christmas Festival

Get ready to celebrate the festive season! Join the City of Adelaide and celebrate Christmas in the city with free events, markets, live performances and magic moments throughout November and December.

It all kicks off with the lighting of the iconic Christmas Tree at Victoria Square/Tarntanyangga on Saturday 9 December. Come along to the free community celebration to enjoy live music by headline act Charmaine Jones and Gospo, and food trucks from 6pm before the official lighting ceremony at 8:45pm.
