A Very Darwin Christmas Pageant!

Get ready to experience a tropical Christmas, with A Very Darwin Christmas Pageant set to welcome Santa to Darwin on Saturday 16 November 2024! 

More than 13,000 people attended last year’s event and this year is going to be bigger and better than ever. This year’s parade will kick-off at 5.30pm, which means less time in the sun and more time to spread Christmas cheer. 

The annual Lord Mayors lighting of the Christmas tree will dazzle crowds at 7pm, officially beginning the festive season for our beautiful city! 

This year’s pageant will also include:  

  • A range of fun entertainment and activities along the parade route for the family to enjoy
  • Delicious food vans offering your favourite snacks and treats
  • Accessible and free parking throughout the city
  • Plus of course the incredible float participants and groups of entertainers who will spread the Christmas cheer. 
 
Let's celebrate Christmas Darwin style!
